Two incredible minds meeting here

Gates does a fantastic job guiding the conversation and Pinker is good as usual. It's such a shame that they were cut off for the audience Q&A.

Great conversation, would have loved for them to have had more time. Stuff like this is youtube at its finest. Thanks for sharing!

Henry has provided one of the best interviews of Pinker yet

Paraphrase: "Religion is OK as long as scripture as the source of morality is sidelined." I love it.

What's the difference between thinking and critical thinking?

this looks like the inverse of Between Two Ferns. Around Two ferns

It's funny because no one is more cynical than me. I am a misanthrope, too, sort of. But I love Pinker and totally accept his thesis while it seems everyone else thinks he went off the deep end of optimism.

Didn’t they check the microphones and Putin fresh batteries before they started?

Tie is a little long there Mr. Pinker

And nice scientific misrepresentation of what Trump stands for...
