Steven Pinker on the #AltRight
Let's look at what the facts really say about Irish major crime rates in the early 20th century & compare them to that of blacks today.
Holy cow! Look at the rate for Mexicans! High then, high now.
You're wrong, Steve.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNHoVPFPj4E …

And you're right about Mexicans,

If you keep saying that things are terrible, people will act like things are terrible. Humans are great. We have so much potential. Get motivated by fear, not frozen by it!

Yet, the most negative conjecture of Fermi Paradox, "The Great Filter", seems like the most probable. Let's hope that's not the case.pic.twitter.com/jzJiYOulVh

Give me courageous optimism, spiteful optimism -- the kind of optimism that has some balls -- over the quivering kind, the gosh-golly cowardly kind that refuses to challenge obstructions and "looks on the bright side" of only those options dictated by overpresumptuous twats.

@ezraklein You suggest conservative rhetoric on immigration is based on "empirics". Not really; it's more based on plausible, but wrong theories. See@Noahpinion's thread:https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/955624504247529472 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Humanists and Progressives point to the “Enlightenment” with proper scientific pride .... and pathetically sad atheism. Got news for all you “smart” people... you aren’t nearly as “bright” as the “Intelligence” who conceived allllll the systems of the universe, including US.

Glad to see that Vox acknowledges "The Enlightenment" as a thing that happened.

"Man does not live by bread alone" - which is all Progress has to offer. What does Reason say about the death of Cordelia in "King Lear" ? Or in the face of any bereavement ? Zilch of any use, whatsoever - since we are human beings, not machines.

Now is the time to be alive. Maybe I'm setting a low bar, but we're healthier and safer now than any point in human history. I'm reminded of Dr. Seuss: I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew, Where They Never Have Troubles, Or At Least Very Few. We can face today's problems.
