        @AdamClarke114 @JPlewes Steven Pinker is really such a clever thought provoker who understand middle grounds exsist, but only supported by evidence. Stephen Fry seems to like him too

        I’m reading it, too. A bit long, don’t you think. And regardless of Pinker’s overwhelming evidence that life on earth is getting better, I still think most of the world “an air-conditioned nightmare.”
