Some lists you might want to look at

1. 52 things Tom Whitwell learned in 2021. This is a relatively well-known annual list, on fair but not brilliant form this time around.

2. 52 things Jason Kottke learned in 2021. Not bad at all.

3. 100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying. (The not so good original from 2000 is here.)

4. Tyler Cowen's music picks for 2021.

5. 25 anti-memetic ideas.

6. Finally, my predictions for 2022. I did this in 2018, with mixed results. This time, just the predictions - no reasoning.

(1) Macron will be re-elected President of France.

(2) Boris Johnson will cease to be Prime Minister.

(3) Article 16 of the Brexit Protocol will not be triggered.

(4) No new British political party, whether centrist, Corbynist or other, will get any real traction

(5) The cool new thing in European politics will be pro-natalist policies.
