Science Fictions has a podcast on antidepressants.  Paywalled, but in the few minutes I heard them report a study from Cambodia that showed depression decreasing if you gave someone a cow.  They doubted this would scale and work in London.

Two Is Already Too Many  A Works in Progress essay on declining fertility, with special reference to South Korea. I have previously linked to an article that showed that subsidising having children had no effect there, but this argues the near-opposite. The subsidies partly work, but South Korea's problems are so extreme that they don't begin to solve them. I think convincing.

Earl Wajenberg put up a link about The Bible and Slavery 

A book group member sent a bunch of links from robotics companies, with video of what they can do.
