Monday assorted links


1. Was there a great Philadelphia cheese steak stagnation?

2. David French on the enemies of free speech (NYT).  And yes it is Indonesian censorship, nothing to celebrate.

3. Profile of Hussein Aboubakr.  Good piece on one of today’s best thinkers and writers.  Link to Twitter and Substack.  Unlike many writers on these topics, it is not about your opinion of Israel, rather each piece is interesting and substantive.  Try his essay on Mahfouz.

4. Lab Leak is somewhat declining in plausibility.

5. “China is cracking down on families who opt to bury their dead in empty high-rise properties — known as “bone ash apartments” — rather than pay skyrocketing costs for cemetery plots.” (FT)

6. Do developing countries still need to industrialize?

7. JFV on education and AI.
