It's a bit unfair to claim that a person can't have _anything_ interesting to say in regards to _any_ subject because you disagree with the statistical methods in one of his books, isn't it? Moreover, not all of Better Angels relies on a statistical argument, and so it might still be the case that Pinker has some interesting insights into the nature of violence.

- oxymoron 10y agoSo which parts of Chapter 7 and 8 - the ones that deals with the applicable neurology and psycology - do you disagree with? I presume that the chapter on inner demons felt very relatable when you read it, pierre? :) Please do elaborate on your concerns with the Blank Slate and The Sense of Style while your at it.
