Issue Two Of Asterisk
Read the original on Astral Codex Ten →
Summary
A pointer post promoting Issue Two (the food issue) of Asterisk Magazine, with brief witty blurbs on each article (Ozy on Nussbaum's animal-justice book; the downsides of the Green Revolution; plant-based-meat health debates; cultivated meat's economics; etc.). Scott isn't in this one; the substance is external.
Why this score
Quality 50 · Solid. Solid/minor edge: a promotional teaser with witty framing but no original content of its own; the articles live offsite.
Claude’s paradigm shift 26 · Slight. Slight: a pointer, no developed ideas here.
Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Negligible-minor: drives readers to a friend's magazine issue.
