Steven Pinker on X: "My appearance on the Talking Feds podcast: "After some brief discussion of his childhood and background, they dive into Pinker’s best-selling “The Better Angels of Our Nature,” “Enlightenment Now,” and Rationality” ... The two also touch on Pinker’s strong if idiosyncratic views" / X

Steven Pinker
“We analysed Hitler’s DNA – and what we discovered made us gasp.” Reasonably careful explanation here, noting the extraordinary findings, but avoiding simplistic conclusions.

This was a pretty good read. Pinker argued in 2011 that violence had declined over the last few thousand years and could continue. His warnings of trend reversal caused widespread populism over democracy point to even broader implications of current events. #booksky #nonfiction #stevenpinker

And the basis for that argument was misunderstanding heritability and getting mad about Lewontin and Gould
The other thing to remember amidst all the Steven Pinker discourse is that the book that made him an NPR-darling celebrity academic, The Blank Slate, was essentially an argument that non-evopsych social science is ideologically corrupt and possibly evil.

This. I just read a book on right from a star scholar (who doesn’t study the right) with big name glowing blurbs. It was meh. Then I’m reading research on right from junior scholars and it’s so amazing and I’m not sure they have TT jobs.
There’s more to be said about the relationship between Pinker-style stardom and the state of academia. Not because academia is Woke, but because star systems loosen rigor at the top while solid scholarship becomes a dead end lower down. Shoddy celebrities and broke PhDs proceed from the same machine

In his new book, Steven Pinker asks us to look at how group knowledge works. Pinker argues that what drives society is knowing that what we know is widely know — in his term, "common knowledge". But w...

As an aspiring psychologist, I've been a little demoralized by how many psychologists and #psychology -adjacent figures were involved with #Epstein. Some are college professors. College presidents. People responsible for shaping the thinking of young women and men. Shame on #StevenPinker. Shame.

Many people complied with DEI not because they believed in it, but because they thought everyone else did—until a public shift revealed that most people privately disagreed. 👉 Link in bio for full interview.

Reminds me of #stevenpinker talking about the poor getting rich faster than the wealthy. A BS stat. It's like I'm aging faster than my parents percentage wise, therefore I will soon surpass them.
