Freudianism is a religion masquerading as a science.
What's the "reason " for the interview. I developed a five point plan to bring back the original Flintstone series.
Pinker is wrong about a lot of things.
I haven't yet listened to the entire conversation, but in the first 10 minutes Steven Pinker starts that the university should have a policy of neutrality so that students and faculty don't have to worry about an opposing opinion negatively impacting their professional prospects. But of course then they wouldn't know if their Dean or a faculty member did have an opinion that they were disagreeing with and would hold it against them. So the question; is it better for people in power to be prejudiced and to be public about it or for people not in power to be secretly impacted because they didn't know the positions of the people in power?
Marxists and Islamists have taken over the Democratic Party and most universities. That is the problem.

It is a felony under federal law to intentionally āsolicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuadeā another person to engage in a crime of violence against a person or property.Ā 18 U.S.C.Ā Ā§ 373. Many states have similar laws.
Important message but this lunatic channel is not the place to lend credibility to a good position.
Is perceived progress really just the measurement of change. But when we as a society are in a period of plateau then inevitably we become desensitised to objective progress or utility and so need to seek for more change. In short is objective happiness or morality out of reach?
Pinker is almost as guilty as anyone else in academia. Heās an excellent tap-dancer. He has to be in order to advocate for evolutionary psychology.
to me it is incredible that "the west " has decided that the "enlightenment " was a bad idea
I don't know why anyone is surprised by the state of Harvard, they did give David Hogg a degree. David keeps showing how the quality of Harvard education has declined significantly.
I am very pleased I never attended Harvard.
DEI statements will only lead to detrimental ideological homogeny
We need to learn to talk both sides. This is more effective by far than changing structures and policies, which require people to enforce them.
We need to leave our bubbles and engage with people, even when they disagree with us.
The girl in the white tank is stone cold munchin.
I wouldnāt let my kid go to Harvard even if it was free. It scores too low on FIRE free speech rating
Hit the wayback machine to 1983. I chose a UC campus on the basis of proximity to good surf. A H.S. friend went to Harvard. I'd grill him at Semester breaks over beers for primary source narritive on the Gestalt in The Peoples Republic of Cambridge. He was in USAF ROTC program. He told me at freshman orientation the Harvard Admin reps. reccomended all ROTC students refrain from wearing ROTC uniforms on campus b/c they'd get serially hurranged and potentially assaulted by groupscules of radical leftests including "The Sparticus Youth Brigade". As a strident progressive whale lover, I said; "Let me get this straight, the Harvard admin., in effect want you deny and renounce the sacrifice of the 400,000+ US military who died to protect our democracy and freedom, or get serially hassled by healthy chunk of the (white, affluent, bourgeois) student body? At a school w/a private endowment larger the GDP of a small country? "Yes, that's right". I told him, "please tell me you flatly refused to do that", which he did. I wanted to hug him. Not that there's anything wrong w/that….
Modern universities are unsavable. Best just to stop giving them money and focus on 2-year trade schools.
The recent public face of Harvard has simply shown what we have known for years, it is a joke.
An issue for anyone who has absolutely nothing of value to do or think about. Out of here…
