1. Pinker is hit and miss. He talks utter nonsense sometimes. Dishonest and or delusional too at times. Would be very careful about trusting him.

2. I realized that Mr Pinker had fallen to the dark side after reading "Enlightenment Now".

   This was most apparent in the last section which addressed the rise of Trumpism, in which he didn't bother presenting any Pro-Trumpism arguments in order to debunk them. It was a disappointing end to a book that started so well.

   There is widespread push to demasculinize society, that some refer to as "the bonobo protocol". After hearing Pinker talk about female intelligence in defense of AI, it is clear to me that he is a part of this push, and it displays an absolutely stunning naivete in such an accomplished academic. It is also active participation in a uniquely human monstrosity of a crime.

   I'm not a trained evolutionary psychologist. I'm also not a trained carpenter. But when I see a disjointed, crooked house, it is plainly obvious that it's a defective construction, regardless of what a trained carpenter would tell me to believe.

3. I do agree with the Abrahamic religions when they say women ruin kings and nations as rulers. They over micromanage and make decisions on emotions (empathy has no place in battle) so they would weaken a nations strength! I'll never vote for a woman!

4. Men write such comments after sex. We tend to promise too much after sex.

5. Pinker knows well that women need to be placated….This is nothing other than a guy being truly sexist and telling women in power that “they are special little angels.” “They’re even doing better than men.” “Just so amazing.

6. I wander who would down-vote this video.

7. Does Pinker need to gain some bonus points for having sinned previously?

8. Variables: population, borders closed, immigration, separation of populations,….. Very sad SP said such shit.

9. Some commenters here may not be aware of elephant in the room, Pinkers' third wife Rebecca Goldstein is super left, super woke, and usually off with the fairies from what Ive seen and an obvious influence on her mild mannered male companion.

10. Amazing that Zanada has done so well, given our leader is a 12 year old sock mannequin from Montreal.

11. I bet Zaire are regretting the name change now!

12. Jacinda Ardern is the most incompetent Prime Minister in New Zealand’s history. New Zealand should have closed its borders in early March and gone to Level 2-2.5, instead Ardern waited until late March and put NZ into a Level 4 which was unnecessary.

13. Do some more recearch on Pinker. As with many in the elite circle his ties to Epstein run deep.

14. Empathy for men…never seen it ever!

15. Pinker, you are getting senile, ffs…

16. We all know that female only households do a better job of raising children than male lead households. It's a fact.

17. Pinker actually has always played that white knight role – I never liked him.

18. Why are you speaking of ovaries and testicles? Male and female brains are different on average, so we would expect them to do better or worse on average. Now of course there are so many variables you'd have to control before you could make a precise assessment, so I still agree with the general sentiment of the video.

19. I think the isolation is getting to Pinker

20. Pinkee’s linguistics was of the same level of sophistication

21. Just to be safe though I think we should change our country's name to the ZUSA

22. I hate it when people pander! Pathetic.

23. Bless you for replying to that tweet. More sane minds speaking out is important.

24. I'm also seeing that countries led by women are the most liable to lose their identity and therefore their freedom, something we can never buy back! By the way, I am a woman and believe in equality but not superiority!

25. Pickers ideological and ethnic bias and self interest is the same as Sam Harris. Never trust these people. They’re just clever at hiding their self interests.

26. Finger to pinker

27. Women did Not Build the World, they provided the Man-Power to achieve it.
    Postmodernist Marxism, is the Most Schitzoid philosophy Ever, to Pollute the Halls of Learning and Human Society.

28. Thanks for pushing back on this nonsense.

29. Stop with the facts, it hurts me in the feels.

30. How do you know that gender will not emerge as a significant predictor unless you unpackaged gender into the underlying variables? Have you done the stepwise regression yourself? Nobody does regressions with ALL the possible predictors. They do it with what they think are some of the RELEVANT predictors. You seem to think that a strong leadership based in empathy is not one of them. You would rather criticize your warped perception of the left than leaders who are Machiavellian, narcissistic, and psychopathic, like Trump. I am not political, but you are definitely nothing but politically biased. By the way, there are some obvious predictors of how a country would fair in containing COVID-19. One of them is the degree to which the national leader has the dark triad of personality. Some others are the degree to which the health care system is driven by the profit motive and the degree to which the news media is fragmented and spreading scientific misinformation. Others are cultural psychological factors like the degree of cultural tightness/looseness, relational mobility, and the degree to which cultures tolerate egocentrism (i.e., doesn’t perceive egocentrism as childish and immature). Check out Michele Gelfand’s work on tightness/looseness, Jonathan Haidt’s work on the dark psychology of the media, Steve Heine’swork in the self-enhancement motive, and Shinobu Kitayama’s work on relational mobility. While you are busy spewing your political vile, other scientific psychologists have already been doing good work on trying to explain cultural variation in COVID-19 responses.

31. They keep using nz as the example of success. Nz has 14 people on an island. You can’t cases if you don’t have people.

32. Pinker rode the Lolita express to orgy island. Hope he enjoyed himself.

33. I remember Pinker making similar comments years ago when I still listened to the Big Think channel. He ascribed all sorts of negative personality traits to male leaders. Then he said, "There's a group of people who have none of these flaws. They're called women…"

    Pinker probably doesn't believe any of it to be true. He just wants to be 'in' with his political crowd.

34. When he says “bruh” I always bust out laughing Gad Saad is the man.

35. Check out the protests against the prime minister of Belgium. Not like she's doing a fine job, even though she's a woman.

36. New Zealand leader is giddy after beating the tiny covid-19 out break in her low density country.

37. So…You think Ovaries & Testicles are the only differences between Men & Women?
    Ever heard of the Big 5 Personality Traits?
    No wonder you disagree with Jordan Peterson all the time because you must be wrong on many other Topics too!

38. Amazing that academics can put their absurd Liberal biases so brazenly ahead of common sense. Pinker can't be too bright if this is an example of his reasoning.

39. For goodness sake, Gad, get off your soap box. My guess is that Pinker’s comment was said in jest and, anyway, all ‘suggestive’ means is that the question is worth pondering. I wouldn’t buy it, personally, and I doubt whether Pinker would. Maggie Thatcher used to call the ministers that expressed concerns about her brutal policies ‘Wets’. Nicola Sturgeon, leader of the Scottish Government is totally ‘power mad’.

    On the other hand, Angela Merkel presides over a nation which has been far more successful in treating patients with Covid-19 than the UK has. But my hunch is that the German advantage was connected to the decentralisation of health provision rather than the sex of the leader.

    Having said all that, I think it would be ‘nice’ if more nations around the world were led by women. After all, women make up fifty percent of the human race. When you think of all the dictators that there are around now and have been in the past, are there any women amongst them? So, are these not fair questions at least to ask?

40. I commented on a video from BBC news channel, "Those days when wearing the niqab was a controversy in some parts of the western world. Now look what people are made to wear." Reason being, they are both a form of clothing that covers your nose and lips. A user commented on my comment "and your "logic" brings us to the equation of God with a virus, congratulations!" and another user "Men should also give birth. That's not really fair is it?". Was my logic not sound?

41. When women's natural empathy goes rogue from childlessness, they end up with misdirected sympathies for the worst criminal propensities in humanity, i.e., Islamists, communists, terrorists.
    It's like someone with a perfectly good hammer, desperately looking for a nail.
    And like wise little Ben Shapiro once said, "Sometimes you hit a nail, sometimes you hit a puppy."

42. How many G20 countries have a female leader? One (two, if you count Trudeau).

43. While I agree the data is not suggestive, there are other factors to consider. Such as countries where women have the potential to be elected as leaders vs countries without any female leaders. This changes the discussion from the inherent differences between male and female leaders, to societies that are open to female leaders vs ones that aren’t. I’m not saying this difference is statistically probably or even there at all. It’s that just the logic is flawed when you focus on one factor of the equation and debunk it and ignore other factors that may be at play

44. Maybe many countries that have women leaders are also wealthy countries that can afford better health and sanitation suggesting that yes those ovaries obviously are suggestive of more successful results.

45. "…because bruh, empathy.." 🤣🤣🤣👍 dude you crack me up!
