        @Iamdavemac @firepile way to miss the point! @sapinker jumped the shark! He's out of touch with the science, and has been for quite a while.

        @distributedcog @firepile @sapinker Pinker didn't write the article. So what are you even talking about?

        @Iamdavemac if you paid attention to what he RTs, and to what he's written over the last 10 year, I think you could probably work it out.

        @distributedcog That is irrelevant. Your opinion of Pinker has nothing to do with the accuracy of MacDonald's article.

        @Iamdavemac the article was unsubstantiated garbage. It wasn't grounded in science or plausible theory.

        @sapinker "The campus sexual-assault controversy is of liberal higher ed’s own making." So no sexual assault at Plato's Accademy?
