Personally speaking, I greatly like Prof. Pinker, having spoken with him on several occasions (one being a book signing of his), but I find this one optimistic book of his falling woefully short of his previous ones, too much data out there bespeaks too much ongoing violence, both nationally and internationally. Prof. Pinker has enjoyed a nice upbringing and professional status, thus inuring him to street-level violence which permeates American society, as well as that American-supported violence throughout the planet, on behalf of multinationals. I agree with several of the commenters below, and afraid I can't agree with Pinker's book. (Point of fact: we exist in a completely fraud-based society today in America, and anyone over the age of 35 who is still clueless of this exhibits minimal expertise!)
