Love this episode! So funny.
Two of my favorite people: Steven and Stephen!
They should be a comic-duo. Pinker is the polar opposite of Colbert's persona.
Outstanding author
Who the fuck on earth would think violence increased over the course of history?
Props to Pinker.
I can't believe I almost let that idiot that wrote Sex at Dawn (Christopher Ryan) lead me to believe that Steven Pinker was full of shit.
Christopher Ryan was the one full of shit: http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dusk-Lifting-Shiny-Wrapping/dp/1477697284
