Friday assorted links

1. The culture that is Finland.

2. Russian propaganda is not all that effective (consistent with broader research on media and propaganda I might add).

3. Stripe Capital.

4. Quantifying my cognitive decline.

5. “Alaska village gives suspected drug dealer the boot with a one-way plane ticket out of town.”

6. James Altucher interviews me for his podcast.

7. “One way or another, though, I think it’s pretty clear that the time of the self-proclaimed Chosen Ones is running out, and a rather more Skywalkeresque era may dawn thereafter.“
