@curtdoolittle @sapinker Pinker never tries to claim ‘net harms’ are declining. I don’t even know how one could even approach trying to measure something so expansive. Collecting historical data for violent deaths seemed hard enough, let alone getting nuanced data like non-physical harm.

He makes a claim about human nature – that’s false.

How would you (Pinker) warranty that statement if you were held liable for it? Isn’t most propaganda and deceit distributed under the premise of presumption of innocence in intent?

@curtdoolittle @sapinker I don’t think Pinker’s scope for violence is as misleading as you seem to. He doesn’t avoid or hide the new challenges we face and also warns against extrapolating and making predictions from the data he uses.
