Thread of the best papers and books I read in 2020, roughly in order.
1. Lewin & Cachanosky, "The Average Period of Production: History and Rehabilitation of an Idea"
Good fisking & constructive replacement of the idea of 'roundaboutness' in capital theory. Even though I think they can go further. ↓ https://t.co/LgxNclt1g2 https://t.co/7yI5eVRuWQ
2. O'Hear, "Popperian Individualism Today"
Good, concise statement of an important point:
3. Zero HP Lovecraft - "God Shaped Hole"
I enjoyed last year's "The Gig Economy" better, but this still lives up to the idea of Lovecraftian cosmic horror better than anything the actual Lovecraft ever wrote.
4. Keane, "Sincerity, Modernity, and the Protestants"
Interesting case study of the W.E.I.R.D.ification of a south pacific tribe and how the Protestant converts, unlike the Catholic ones, fundamentally change their relationship to ritual. https://t.co/vYTgufbrU1

Good, concise statement of an important point:
Nice essay on Popper's open society. Bare proceduralism isn't enough to hold together a community; a functional open society is "itself a substantive tradition". https://t.co/pkGddGVdIz pic.twitter.com/7CZLZd4dWw

The internet is an ocean that we invent as we explore it. In the murky darkness of virtual places, there could be dragons, shoggoths, leviathans...
