Saturday assorted links

1. China vs. 1950s America.

2. Techniques of persuasion can work on the AIs.  Cialdini.

3. “In fact, young men with a college degree now have the same unemployment rate as young men who didn’t go to college, completely erasing the graduate employment premium.”

4. Many Chinese art museums are disappearing.

5. Delta is using price discrimination through AI.

6. Claims about alchemy.  Big if true.

7. Bryan visits Spain.  Not my views, but always of interest.  I would be more focused on sectoral analysis, and which Spanish companies will hit it big in the near future. That perspective makes me somewhat more pessimistic, the Madrid area aside.  A lot of Spain appears to be shrinking and not really coming back.  Here is further commentary, in Spanish, from JFV.
