This article is terrible. It tries so hard to paint Pinker as some sort of evil guy with the main argument being (what seems to me) how Pinker unintentionally helped Epsein a long time ago. They think somehow bringing in unrelated criticism of Pinker's work helps their case? Ridiculous. To be very clear : Epstein is obviously guilty of some horible crimes. Pinker, seems like he crossed paths with Epstein and now people are out to get him.

Pinker claims to now have known what the case was for. Fine.

  Pinker offered the opinion to Dershowitz and was not aware who was the subject in the case.

    His outward lack of curiosity in this instance is quite curious.

Don't mind me, just unintentionally submitting an amicus brief to a pedophile's plea deal. Totally accidental, could have happened to any linguist.
