      “Of the roughly 150,000 people brought before the Spanish Inquisition over the course of its 350-year-existence, somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people were actually executed. The number of people murdered in the US in 2018 alone was 15,498 people.”https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2020/07/24/steven-pinkers-the-better-angels-of-our-nature-debunked/ …

      I just had to click if this was a parody and still am not sure what to think about an article that argues crucifixion wasn't all that bad. (I say this without prejudice to or approval of Pinker's book that I have not read. I tend to read Pinker only on linguistics, to be honest).pic.twitter.com/enJgVcnhPR

          don't know who he is but looks like he's one of those 'intellectual' white males who are a bit psycho and sit there making things up. Then the entire media buys-in to their bs and there we are, it becomes the new belief across society, or so media would have us believe.

          It's a truly terrible book. We just don't have the kind of demographic figures you'd need for his argument prior to 18C. He uses figures from the website of an amateur "atrocity expert" and just takes them at face value

          As a natural optimist, I'd interpret that paragraph to mean the Romans recognized its severity, reserving for the worst crimes committed by those they regarded as lower. Similar to, say, the English 1500 years later (when evidence obtained via torture was admissible, to boot).

          Pinker also had no relationship with Epstein!

          I suppose it takes special kind of reading skills to suggest that a paragraph which describes crucifixion as "horrible, inhuman and evil" actually claims that "crucifixion wasn't all that bad"?
