Another keeper, Mike - one I want to send to about fifty people. First question though is- on that delightful menu (where I noticed that sweetbreads were the most expensive bits of protein) what on earth is Cape Cods? Coming from the Cape, I feel I should know - perhaps it's just bits of cod - but I couldn't find anything about it anywhere. The rest of The Arrow is just stunning - I too am thoroughly enjoying (or perhaps "appreciating" - you're right) Turchin's book; I'm gobsmacked (but not surprised) by the info from Childer's report (another writer to check out); relieved - having recently gone carnivore - at the conclusion of protein causing kidney damage and loved the picture of the Kidney Care center . . . but I just couldn't watch (again) the video of the elite presidents trying to squirm around the question of college codes of honor. For a compelling take on that, check out Dark Horse podcast #202. Food for thought, which Bret actually makes quite funny.

Just a little confused over Matt and Bill Briggs - same guy? You've mentioned a Briggs 5 times - in fact your first mention of him is in relation to models - so I instantly thought of William Briggs - but nowhere on the internet is he found as Matt. Just my little confusion; perhaps others are confused too. (for what it's worth, since you mentioned him, I'm now following him - he writes great posts!)

For the rest:

William M. Briggs is a brilliant mathematician; "Matt" is what he goes by with familiars. I also know him as eminent professor "William Briggs" publicly, but having been around him a bunch, I think of him as "Matt" and sometimes find myself using his familiar name interchangeably. I'm sure that's what's going on with Doctor Eades ("Mike").
