2. “…we find no evidence that mothers’ education reduces their support for FGC.”

3. “Contrary to other groups, internet searches and reported cases of arrest-related deaths have a strong negative well-being effect within the Black community that can explain up to half the Black-White [well-being] decline after 2013.

4. Profile of Elizabeth Anderson (New Yorker).

5. Arnold Kling annotates Cowen, Andreessen, and Horowitz.
