        Promote a book based on Bill Gates it´s somehow okay, but Warren Buffett! It seems that Pinker values the opinion of people not on intelectual merits but on bank accounts. Shame on him.

        That just has to be a fake tweet. It is a dopey “appeal to authority” fallacy, not likely to come from Pinker.

        Those two guys agreeing on anything brings complete influence to most if not all entrepreneurship type minds... Can't wait to get a credit so listen to it

        In gambling, politics and war, lying and bluffing are part of game theory strategy for winning that DJT haters will never care to understand. Not sure Pinker is guilty, but Sam Harris and Ali A Rizvi definitely are.

        @BillGates and @WarrenBuffett are justified in promoting the praise this book deserves (as are you @sapinker). Such rational optimism is worthy of that and more.

        Yes, look how negative the news is when it comes to progress. You are a true underdog offering rare knowledge. Luckily people are born with their opinions so nothing can effect behavior including your attemps or something.
