The article also references/discusses Seeing Like a State, which has been somewhat popular in rationalist circles after the SSC book review.
The link at the start of the post (the one here, not the one at the far end) has for its text the URL of the thing it's pointing to, but its actual link target is ... this post itself.
(At least, so it is for me right now on my browser; I haven't checked whether some peculiarity of my setup is at fault, and of course it may get fixed later.)
My bad, I thought that just putting the link at the beginning of the post would make a linkpost, but that's not how it works. Also, apparently if you make a link without linked url, it goes back to the post containing the link (as you mentioned).
This should now be fixed.
A linkpost to the great blog A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry is long overdue. The author, a historian, examines pop culture through the lens of history, as well as some more direct historical topics from time to time. It's great, fascinating, and quite different from the other blogs and websites I usually follow.
This specific link is to a series that started this week, looking at a franchise of historical games and how they portray history. The first post focuses on questions of legibility and how perspective frame our understanding history. Exactly the kind of good stuff people around here should enjoy.
