        The current administration fully supports science researchers. It was the previous administration, with its populist policies, that had no concern for science or reason. Thank you for visiting our country, Prof. Pinker.

        Oh, now I see why @sapinker has this ever-irrationally-positive attitude. @MimeticValue

        And yet given what’s presented in his books, it seems irrational to do otherwise

        "Seems" yes of course because that's what the best propaganda does -- makes it seem as if what they want you to believe is utterly sensible.

        That is the best propaganda when it looks like it’s only the natural thing to believe and to believe otherwise would be ridiculous. That’s the naturalization of the propaganda.

        He’s not a political figure. Pinker isn’t presenting propaganda. It’s an argument based on accurate data and solid logical conclusions. End of.

        Oh yes indeed he is quite the darling of the current establishment system because he makes it all look like it’s working so well even when it’s not and that is the definition of propaganda.

        You’ll have to either show his data to be false or his logic to be fallacious for that claim to hold

        I really wanted to go see your talk today at the CCK, unfortunately, University exams at 7 pm are a common thing. Hope you enjoy Buenos Aires, Dr Pinker. (Really liked your book, Enlightenment Now, by the way)
