Friday assorted links
1. Chinese modular innovation.
2. “Are you an emerging scholar passionate about scientific discovery and innovation, and interested in joining a community of classical liberal scholars for a year? We’d love to hear from you. Apply below…” New Mercatus program.
3. State media control influences large language models.
4. The best intellectual biographies of the last twenty-five years. An excellent thread, though it will induce you to spend some money.
5. An undervalued Jack Butler Yeats. Up for auction, I have seen many worse paintings priced in seven figures. Elsewhere, here are some major works up for auction.
