Steven Pinker is several magnitudes smarter then me and I’m a bright guy.
Awesome
I could and would listen ti these two men talk for hours.
Dammit now I want a diet coke
Extremely Bold Prediction here:
The 2018 midterms will not be nice to the Democrats because of interviews like this. I am not a Trump Voter, I'm more of a Libertarian myself. But to label Trumpism Anti-enlightenment or UNelightenment and the Progressives as Enlightened/Reason/Logic is egotistical, short-sided, and frankly, wrong.
Jon finally got a Crooked Conversations episode!!
Yes, Trump is all about lies and corruption.
Now let us tell you about the gender wage gap that is super-genuine, how there are 72 different genders and how inequality and poverty is only caused by the fact that the 1% are greedy.
Disappointed Steve didn't call the dems out on some of THEIR bullshit, he has done plenty of times before.
Pinker has been getting around lately. If anyone wants to hear a longer form, deeper interview I would recommend any of his interviews with Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Nick Gillespie of ReasonTV and Joe Rogan.
