I read this hoping to see examples where Pinker's data about progress - which I find surprising and interesting - was misrepesented. Instead it's mostly about the semantics of the argument. It's definitely not cool if Pinker used quotes in ways that gave the impression people agreed with him who don't. But these are also viewpoint quotes that are just as meaningful in the new context Pinker gives them - so reattributing them doesn't exactly refute his argument. And a bunch of the stuff later on is just giving a platform to people who disagree with Pinker, and don't think he included enough of their view. Which is like, a reasonable opinion but not an error. Does anyone have a good piece that takes on the substance of Pinker's arguments?
