I wanted to share with you some things I read this week which I really enjoyed and which made me think.

1. Jordan over at Quomodocumque has written the post I wish I wrote on the recent “end of history illusion” introduced in this New York Times article. Here’s the post I did write, which isn’t nearly as nerdy, annoyed, and well thought-out. 
   
2. How to halt the terrorist money train from the New York Times.
3. Point: Our absurd Fear of Fat from the New York Times. I love the attention to the weight-loss industry here.
4. Counterpoint: The problem with all this ‘Overweight people live longer’ news, from the Atlantic.
