As usual, an incoherent, irregular, unpredictable collection of interesting sparks. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!

• Weird times call for weird notions of money. Venkatesh Rao at his best writing. Part of the Great Weirding series. Some posts require subscription.
• Fantastic essay by Genevieve Bell on stories of systems, serendipity and grace.
• About Scott Alexander’s Slate Star Codex and what’s next: Astral Codex 10 (very critical NYT article, but I remain huge fan)
• Museums have an opportunity to play a constructive role in generating action on climate change. Museums as time machine.
• About the Commonisation of Credit, maybe they should call it open source credit?

If you can’t get enough of these and want more than 5 articles, you can hang on to the firehose, the extended version of Petervan’s Delicacies in REVUE. Also in this edition with loads of videos. Subscribe here: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/petervan
