The Best Blog Posts of 2012: Vanity Edition

After my post on other people's 2012 posts that I liked best, here are ten of my posts from last year that I find more worthwhile than the others. In chronological order:

• How "Social Distance" Is Misleading
• The within-between Fallacy
• The Discrimination Fallacy
• The Argument from the Absence of Apocalypse
• Poverty and Life Outcomes: A Theory of the Changing Relative Importance of Resources and Personality
• Why You Shouldn't Borrow Books from Acquaintances
• The Greatest Tracks of the 1990s, Part 3: 30-1
• Testing vs. Matching and the Attraction of the Aphorism
• Sometimes You Need Both Blades of the Scissors
• Why Most Studies of Male-Female Differences Are Useless

This is the last installment of my turn-of-the-year flurry in linklists. I promise the next post will contain substantial blocks of new text written by me.
