I love how they're giving it away in fucking Baghdad. God has truly made us all mad. Also fuck Pinker and fuck his colleagues for eating pedophile food and drink and taking pedophile money to build their super helpful climate simulations.

Found this at a used book store. Heard his name being memed so I wanted to see what the fuss was about. First page I flipped too was filled with a Louis ck quote. Everything else was written like the author assumed the reader was mentally retarded. Closed the book and put it back on the shelf backwards

I haven't read Pinker, but there are other authors who try to paint a more positive view of our progress and future using factual data. Of course incels are going to incel because they only think through their dick and want everyone to feel as hopeless as they are.

worthless review aimed for people who already made their mind

i gotta say, i'm liking the eat bugs meme

>>14441338
Prove that the problems of the modern era are worse or equal to before

>>14441835
The bug eating meme is cringe. Bugs are an unnecessary middleman as the NWO could already put you on a strict diet of soi if they wanted to. Bugs are better than soi and I would unironically eat bugs. I already eat ants when they get in my food. I don't know how you people are so squeamish about bugs, you people are not better than basedboys.

>>14441855
How do ants get in your food, just stop beeing a disgusting slob.

What the fuck is wrong with Jews? Seriously?

imagine being this apollonian

>>14441338
This Jew, like the rest of the liberal apologists, should be backed up against a streetlamp, and undergo so baseball bat themed dental reorganization before he is hanged.

The constant repetition of LOOK HOW GOOD EVERYTHING IS LOOK HOW GOOD EVERYTHING IS when suicide rates are on the rise is the most anti-rational behavior imaginable.

Human beings who have endured plagues and wars are literally killing themselves to escape the soulless hellscape that these Fukayama fellating KIKES have created for us.

But of course an effeminate cocksucking Jew like Pinker would see nothing wrong with this. Never in my life have I ever seen a man who I was more certain A: Has never done an actual day of work in his life, B: Almost certainly is a pedophile, and C: Finds the idea of masculinity incomprehensible.

Pinker is absolutely what the pathetic and weak, cultureless degenerate state of shit-souled man will resemble in this new century if his ideas are not crushed under our feet and liberalism is not destroyed utterly and without mercy. It would be better to live under Stalinist Communism than the hell that these people have in store for us.

I have read the book and the review is valid. The book is incredibly shallow and tries to blow naive readers away by erudition. It parades a host of enlightenment philosophers and how they blew away "counter" enlightenment figures and other strawmen. Meanwhile he never shows that these thinkers support modern progressiveness, which he holds responsible for all the wonders of modernism. He also fucks around with statistics and false anecdotes, not including overdoses in suicides (happiness chapter) and trying to claim peasants never ate fresh fruits (chapter on nutrition). I find the overdose apologism damning, because it is an unique characteristic of modernity. It shows the author is dishonest and arguing in bad faith, on top of him pretentiously straw-manning histories greatest as an appeal to authority.

Distrust anybody who recommends this book to you.

That doesn't answer the question.

Until they can sort their own problems out, Jews as a whole just keep quiet about our culture and society.

>>14442063
They should be delicious but they too easily incorporate toxins and heavy metals and are far below the quality of what is possible. If you keep your food ecology pure, why wouldn't you eat grasshoppers from the same pastures as your cows and goats and chickens? Unfortunately, few places are kept in such a pristine condition you would eat even the bugs. And of course the elites can't stand the idea of overnourished peasants so they gotta push leaded grasshoppers full speed.

That's a bit unfair; they could just be extremely naive.

feels positive I guess. I won't be around to see if things went right or wrong, but at least I didn't spend my life crying about it.
