Steven Pinker on Rationality and Trust | A Tortoise ThinkIn

[@MrArtbyart]

I wish that every voter was so competent in objective reasoning. At age 15, I had a strong passion to study the fields of logic, statistical analysis, logical fallacies and truth tables. I can't imagine anyone forming an opinion, without such tools.

Rationality should be a core class in highschool and college

[@SebCarro.OccPsychology]

Thank you Tortoise. It was just magical to be able listen to the man in the flesh.

[@DrToughGuy]

What an irrational idea to collect questions instead of answering them directly, although we know about the highly limited storage capacity of our working memory ;-)

I find this hard to watch, in the Pinker keeps getting interrupted during some amazing ideas... feels like he's giving out jewels and he gets interrupted for pennies

This is new and boring enough to non rationals that the standard nay sayers haven't commented yet. Hooray for not trying to be stupid!
