Five Things #202

This week’s Five Things…

  1. A clever illusion that uses coloured lines to trick you into seeing a black and white photo in colour. This sort of thing always amazes me.

  2. Food for thought from Ian Leslie's excellent newsletter: “if you never question the beliefs of your tribe then your ability to think for yourself withers away. That isn’t just bad for you, it’s bad for the collective intelligence of your group.”

  3. We watched Hamilton on Disney+ yesterday. It's as good as everyone says it is!

  4. I just finished reading Annie Lowrey's book Give People Money. The book explores the positive case for a universal basic income. I found it very persuasive. A UBI would be very expensive to implement, but could solve so many problems — for one, pretty much eliminating poverty overnight. That sounds like something worth aiming for!

  5. This is for the drummers out there. I've been adding a lot of transcriptions to my website recently. If you'd like to get a brief update on new posts each week, you can subscribe here.
