Problem is he worked himself into a fairly inflexible meme that attempts to explain all evolution through the propagation of memes. The irony is not lost, even though he is. RIP.

Well spoken. People speak like humanity is an unknown force in the universe we cant predict. Like we have no idea what fuels people to take up faith and in belief in things we know dont exist. Its similar to fighting terrorism. We talk like its a war to win. Everyone wants to go home happy and healthy at the end of the day. The more we have safety and security the less are radicalized. Instead we engage in violence and wonder why people radicalize. Religion works the same way. Paget and Freud recognized a century and a half ago that trauma is pandemic. Not a rare occurrance but rampant. People turn to religion in fear. Sometimes in imminent physical fear but mostly from deep pschological unrrsolved trauma. Religious trauma. Trauma from neglect. Trauma from abuse. We dont know how to deal with this fear. We turn to whatever makes us feel better. Religion has learned to use all kinds to tricks to make it seem real and worthy of our time. It leads us to abandon humanity for fictitious rewards or punishments. The northern European countries have taught us that if you have healthcare and invest in people the incidence of faith goes down and people are happier. One day the religious will be the odd person who refuses help for thier traumas. We must focus on trauma, religious indoctirnation and early childhood trauma. The data is there. No one is putting it together.

Greetings Dr. Steven Pinker, You have been a most influential bastion for me over the past 13 years. You have helped me put things in a perspective that encourages more thoughtful action and has granted me much more wisdom than otherwise. You are one of the best of us in this world! Best regards, Emmanuel

Hi there, We currently have a limited number of places available for this, therefore it is unlikely that International Foundation Programme applications received after 8 April 2024 will be considered. Find out more: edin.ac/3ua5jVM

I used to think religion was just going to fade out. Long after I’m dead, but oh well.. I see now we have to understand it out of existence. I hope the scholars and researchers take up this project suggested by Dennett

What's the deal with @victoriousvegan? This is such a good lecture and its only comments come from a non-related ideological spammer who doesn't even try to connect any quotations about animal rights to Eliot's work. Get a life. Start with Middlemarch.

I loved Dr. Daniel Dennett, very sad to hear about his passing, I've would have loved to meet him, he was my absolute favorite, an intellectual giant, a legend, true sage, heard he was also very kind gentle person, huge loss to civilization, I will watch tons of his lectures in the next few days/weeks in his memory, I was distraught to know that my favorite philosopher/intellectual passed away, got some consolation that his lectures will be online and I can watch them over and over again 57:16

The Precession of the Equinoxes determine intelligence and consequently the intelligence of humans in each era and consequently their behavior. We are on the ascent from the last Dark Age to an age when electricities and forces will be fully discovered and understood. The Great Year is a good film that explains this. It is likely that Prof. Pinker has not seen it.

I’m a regular blood donor but I wouldn’t take blood from someone else unless it’s life or death. This is why I refused blood transfusion when I was anaemic. They wanted to give me a bag of blood after giving birth, but I opted out, my levels weren’t so bad as to it being emergency and I opted out.
