I don’t know why I enjoy link posts so much, especially Gwern’s, Scott’s, and Jake Seliger’s. Tyler Cowen’s daily linkposts are good as well. I think it’s because they’re curated and often have things that are so bizarre and interesting (here Gwern’s Blueberry Earth link is in that category) that I can send the links in them to random friends and harvest some stolen internet valor.
