Greetings from Read Max headquarters. Welcome to our weekly summary column. In this column, we highlight some valuable but often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music that we recommend to our paid subscribers. Here’s this week’s summary:
-
A collection of incisive, thought-provoking new essays on AI, computer vision, the surveillance state, UFO photography, psionics, and magic (and “magic”).
-
A collection of links featuring articles on bureaucracy, Murderers of the Flower Moonand the sad state of Western intellectual production.
-
An endlessly entertaining video essay about the Hollywood movie video store. Los Angeles plays itself;

Video of a mouse on a blueberry.

And these are the four songs I’ve been listening to a lot lately.
