I'm not, and am yet to meet, a progressive who believes in the equality of outcome so often portrayed, unless it means "the room to achieve the life that one wishes to achieve." I count as a Social Science type. Undertaking Master's in Psychological Research Methods at Birkbeck
Many "progressive" social science types are committed to the belief that it's possible to "fix" inequality of outcome. Pinker's rejection of "blank slatism" threatens that belief. That's a big reason he's disliked.
