I grew up reading Steven Pinker with admiration. I’m sorry to say that he has made a strange turn in recent years that’s hard to explain, and now has just about discredited himself.

Hopefully the FBI can get to the bottom of this (after the Kavanaugh ordeal I have less confidence) but I wouldn't put it past the Saudis to create a false flag frenzy to distract from their horrible cover-up.
