About this episode

<p>Steven Pinker is a professor at Harvard and before that was a professor at MIT. He is the author of many books, several of which have had a big impact on the way I see the world for the better. In particular, The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now have instilled in me a sense of optimism grounded in data, science, and reason. <a href="https://youtu.be/epQxfSp-rdU">Video version is available on YouTube</a>.
