Monday assorted links
1. New podcast on (serious) natural philosophy.
3. “Her TikTok account as of August 2020 has over 78 million followers.” Link here, can you name her?
4. Thread on the basics of herd immunity claims. And the NYT covers herd immunity. A very good piece in fact. Semi-herd immunity says I, or “imperfect immunity” to use the terminology of the article. And you will note the extreme epistemological conservatism emanating from the mainstream experts interviewed. Appropriate in some ways, not in others.
5. Was Winky Dink the first interactive TV show?
7. WSJ review of new Bruno Macaes book on America. The predictions of the book are holding up very well so far!
