4) A history of RCTs in the social sciences

5) Piketty on Russia

6) "Miscodings of rare events are likely to be asymmetric"

7)  Early humans may have resembled stressed, sweaty chimpanzees

8) Disproportionate Sterilization of Latinos Under California’s Eugenic Sterilization Program, 1920–1945

9) Nearly half of aboriginal Australians carry HLTV-1

10) Markets in abstract everything:  "I very much hope you will apply for a grant at Emergent Ventures.  Most of all, I hope you are applying with ideas that we haven’t thought of yet."

11) "I show that state changes in minimum high school math requirements substantially increase Black students’ completed math coursework and their later earnings."

12) A formal grammar of Russian folktales

14) Can an Evolutionary Perspective Reveal a Universal Morality? y/n/m

15) "Hospitals are one of the very few places left where you encounter the whole span of society"

16) As you may have noticed, we're seeing an upsurge in young Americans who reject capitalism. Why?
