Steven Pinker: Progress, Rationality, Cancel Culture and Social Media

Today, we're joined by Steven Pinker, Harvard professor, experimental cognitive psychologist and a popular writer on language, mind, and human nature. We discuss Pinker’s vastly popular book “Enlightenment Now” in light of recent events, the many dimensions of cancel culture and recent attacks against him, rationality and recent debates on tech companies monitoring social media. Listen until the end to hear his advice for our generation in light of the reality of COVID-19.
