Humankind’s best days lie ahead debate with Steve Pinker and Alain De Botton
Great debate.
Steven Pinker is brilliant.
Matt Ridley is witty.
Alain de Botton and Malcolm Gladwell are both lack of substance when deal with fact, data and science.
So glad I didn't waste any time reading books from Alain De Botton and Malcolm Gladwell.
The debate is highly entertaining. So, search for it in the link. If it is not link to the right one, search for it. It is worth the time.
Of course, Steven Pinker side won.
