        Good question. I’d watch that. Didn’t know Taleb had any issue w/ Pinker. But I imagine he’s probably concerned about Pinker’s ostensible inclination to scientism.

        Shameless self promotion 😉.. In all seriousness though, this is a great and well deserved endorsement! I can see why they'd both recognise its importance.

        Interesting that Buffett specifically recommends Chapter 4 of Enlightenment Now which is partly about how unreliable and unhealthy the news media can be.

        Strange that 2 of the world's richest men would agree that the world is a nice place to be these days. Solid read though.

        Steven hoping we embrace better angels of our nature interpreting book lists he's more familiar with than a blank slate. Ok, I'll enjoy an enlightenment now and no one can argue you lack a sense of style.
