Topic: Steven Pinker

The refusal of the modernist intelligentsia to engage with psychical evidence is described as a form of "mirror fundamentalism" or "counter-fundamentalism." Figures like Steven Pinker are cited as examples of skeptics who display an absolute unwillingness to consider new ideas despite existing data. This mindset is defined by a rigid "I'm right, you're wrong" stance that mirrors religious dogmatism.

The discussion shifts to the inherent risks of public firearm carry and the biological nature of human cooperation. Adam Kokesh references Harvard professor Steven Pinker to argue that humanity is currently living in its most peaceful era. He asserts that human life is fragile and relies on mutual respect rather than physical limitations on the ability to kill, suggesting that intelligence leads species toward more peaceful interactions.
