📚 Quick reminder 📚
We're crowdsourcing book recommendations. Have you shared yours yet?
1. The Psychology of Human Misjudgment (Harrison Barnes)
Don't be scared away by the slow start and the sheer length of this piece (my read-later app of choice says 98 minutes reading time). It's time well spent with an «avid a collector of instances of bad judgment»: a deeply insightful description of 25 human tendencies that lead to bad choices (then again, we're not as bad as ants, that – once they'd have atomic bombs – would within 18 hours...well, read for yourself).
2. Trump, Putin and the New Cold War (The New Yorker)
Such a great article. The definitive background piece to understand where we are on Trump and Russia – and how we got there.
3. The Post-Human World (The Atlantic)
«You predict the end of work, the end of liberal individualism, and the end of humanity. Let’s take these one by one.» – Good conversation starter.
4. Architect Ricardo Bofill’s Abandoned Cement Factory Residence and Studio (Colossal)
Quite the place.
5. Bon Iver: Full Concert (NPR Music)
Relax, listen, enjoy.
