Happy weekend! Here are some links to things I've been reading or watching that you might also enjoy:

1. 'Sense and sensibility: Steven Pinker and Rory Sutherland on reason vs instinct', a new discussion in The Spectator.

2. A good summary of the chapters on A Midsummer Night's Dream in René Girard's A Theater of Envy.

3. 'Information Frictions and Entrepreneurship', a fascinating paper on founders by Deepak Hegde and Justin Tumlinson.

4. 'The Phrase "No Evidence" Is A Red Flag For Bad Science Communication', a new and much-needed blog article by Scott Alexander.

Have a great weekend,
