”With the Epstein files, we’re confronted with exactly what all the Edge men – from Pinker to Dawkins to Musk to Gates – did with the intellectual territory they seized. With their Ivy League posts, their billions, and their blue-ribbon DNA, the would-be intellectuals in Epstein’s circle converged on nothing less than the ideology of Mein Kampf.”

"Whatever Edge was supposed to be, it became something sinister. The salon played yenta to billionaire money and alpha-male minds, and together, over decades, they all converged on a master philosophy: they were apex predators ordained by nature to exploit and subjugate others. This creed allowed the Edge set to steer intellectual history into its current fascist dead-end"

Die Welt ist schlecht, das Leben schön.
War schon in den 80ern so, aber irgendwie scheint #Pinker nicht Recht zu haben mit seiner These, dass alles besser wird.

Steven #Pinker hatte ich schon länger aus den Augen verloren bzw. das Interesse an ihm. Seine populären Bücher wurden zunehmend populistisch. Jetzt ploppt er im Zusammenhang mit Harvard auf und findet, die Angriffe gegen seine Uni seien „aus den Fugen geraten“. Aber ein bisschen Verständnis zeigt er schon…

"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century"
Une critique détaillée de la position de #Pinker selon qui le capitalisme industriel a permis à l'humanité de sortir de la pauvreté. Je parlais de cet argumentaire et de ses détracteurs dans cette note de blog :

"#Sociobiology and #eugenics is once again being repackaged for the public as part of the #TESCREAL ideologies, pressed into service to rationalize why those with power and resources are morally justified in doing everything they can to retain it. This rebrand is made possible by those like #Pinker, #Wilson, #Dawkins, and #Dennett, who have carried the gospel of biological determinism...into the public sphere for the last 30 years."

...avant de m'intéresser à l'idéologie sous-jacente. Mon idée était de ne pas m'arrêter à la constatation de la faiblesse argumentative de Pinker, mais de souligner que ses thèses s'inscrivent en fait dans une longue lignée d'apologies du néolibéralisme, reprenant parfois leur discours mot pour mot.

Deux billets rédigés à la suite de la publication du livre "Le Triomphe des Lumières" de Steven Pinker, qui défend une organisation néolibérale du monde sous couvert de rationalisme. Il y a une contradiction patente dans ce texte : Pinker se fait le défenseur de la raison tout en émaillant son discours d'approximations, d'erreurs et de déclarations péremptoires. Je me suis appliqué dans un premier temps à relever ces erreurs de raisonnement...

#Pinker has gone full Nazi Klown. It's terrible because I used to look up to him.
Just visited his Twitter feed to confirm this tweet, and it's a full-on horror show.
He's now against the UCS "Doomsday Clock" as "too negative." And he says that the assessment of Freedom House on democratic backsliding around the world has been skewed by "media negativity bias," whatever the fuck that means.

"Steven Pinker is the genteel mask of the hardcore #racism that Amy Wax shouts from the rooftops. And that's why Steven Pinker is more pernicious than Amy Wax and that's why this blog focuses on media-darling/sacred cow celebrity intellectual Steven #Pinker and not on the more obviously racist Amy Wax." @Pinkerite https://www.pinkerite.com/2023/01/steven-pinker-and-amy-wax-and-persuasion.html #fascism

I expect every civilisation would tell citizens they offered the best of all possible worlds, and provide a parade stats to prove it.

@DJDynamicNC At this point, #Pinker is just absolutely worthless and utterly lazy as a public thinker. Nobody should have any use for him. #FreezePeach

Great commentary on #Pinker #StevenPinker in this piece:
"Noted Harvard professor Steven Pinker wrote in his book, Enlightenment Now, that “intellectuals who call themselves ‘progressive’ really hate progress,” then blithely promoted the idea that heritable biological difference makes Ashkenazi Jews very smart and Black people… mmm, not so much.."

@TheRealPaulRB
I meant to ask if you would share your summary of “Humankind”, and in what ways it contradicts #Pinker, since unfortunately I won't have the time to read it any time soon… -
