will be curious to hear your review! tbh I'm pretty hopeful: Pinker is still a good writer & science communicator when he actually knows what he's talking about, and it's cool that someone wrote a pop book about this

it is genuinely interesting, and it’s really hard to say what would distinguish it from other aspects of privilege/disadvantage

supererogation is fake

we can still change course
