Thursday assorted links

1. Are bigger brains causing part of the Flynn Effect?

2. Which states are gaining and losing population?, new estimates.

3. Can animals engage in mental time travel?  Paper here.

4. Don’t trust the stars (statistics).  And moral blindness in Star Wars, sorry for the ads.

5. Interfluidity on why it is hard to deregulate housing.  And the political views of Matthew Belmonte, main personal page here.

6. Does China need more property taxes?

7. Poland’s constitutional crisis goes international.  This is perhaps the most important story of the last month or so.
