TWO: STEVEN PINKER NEEDS PRAXEOLOGICAL CORRECTION.

Better angels of our nature is one of the most important books of this century. Along with Acemoglu, Haidt, Fukuyama and a handful of others.

And since hes one of those whose works we use to correct progressive thinking, I don’t like to criticize him.

But better angels fails to accurately judge incentives.

And as such he uses his errors to come to a fanciful conclusion in chapter 10. He nods to the problem of males. But he does not even mention the problems with females.

I need a few months to write this spring. :/
