(titled "Steven Pinker Survives Attempted Cancellation "). This article includes the transcript of an interview of Pinker himself.
- DoofusOfDeath 6y agoThanks for the link - I found the interview interesting. In it, Pink describes two competing mindsets for approaching social issues. One prioritizes analysis and understanding as first steps; the other prioritizes activism unrestrained by fact-checking. I'd be interested to hear his accusers' response to that interview. Experience tells me to withhold judgment until I've heard from all sides, and that interview was only with him.
