That was an attempt to reason.
-
I am so sorry you didn't het it. Are continues wars from the creation of the nation to-date a proof of reason ? Is President
#Trump elected in a "democratic" constitutionally stable country an example of choice of human reason ? History is so full of such examples. -
And you are reasoning with me about them. Why? How did you come to the conclusion that these things are a point against Pinker saying that reason has power and why are you arguing it to me?
-
Oh ! It was something I learnt in High School about reason . . . they were teaching us Plato's Crito. In fact, from the original text so small chance for misinterpretation . . .
-
I think there is possibly a language barrier here. Pinker's point was that any argument requires reason so arguing that reason is worthless is contradictory. You seem to be doing that too.
-
Indeed there is a misevaluation of the power of reasoning . . . But that is a philosophical and spiritual issue.

Sounds familiar. Was that during a conversation with Tyler Cowan ("Conversations with Tyler")? I got to see that in person! Love Pinker.

Yeah, although more reasonable people have more reason to believe in reason than less reasonable people.

That IS what yr doing. The strongest and/or most beautiful argument (brain) wins. But who's judging? And what's the goal?

That’s why Trump has beauty contests. Although with his tiny hands arm wrestling is not his strength

Or in Pinker's case a beautiful hair contest? Such a narcissist. Precious little sign of much reason on Twitter anyway, much of Twitter is akin to arm wrestlng.
