  1. Against home cooking, by Rachel Laudan
  2. Every graph in the AER since 1911 and paper. I’ve also found that economists heavy use of linecharts is quite atypical. Outside academia, other formats such as barcharts are much more common.
  3. I was very impressed by this podcast episode of 80,000 hours interviewing Eva Vivalt. I didn’t expect to find meta-analyses interesting, but they are! One of my favorite bits of insight: If we asked researchers about their priors about what the results of a research project will be (DellaVigna-Pope style), then null results suddenly become interesting and worthy to publish. I also liked this blog post by Ricardo Dahis discussing the framework for meta analyses.
  4. Simon Kucinskas: “How to Measure Biased Reaction to News
  5. A short radio review (in German) of Konrad Biermann’s Konrad Adeanuer biography. I liked the book, but found it speculative and thin on facts.
  6. 1979
  7. Movie reviews
  8. Loriot (in German)
