nerd teacher [books] commented on The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker
I hate this man so much, lmao.
He loves pre-emptive arguments so much that he's ignoring spaces where he genuinely should include them, such as "how are homicide statistics determined" and "who counts as a homicide victim" and "how can we tell when a skeleton that is 10,000 years old or so has died from direct violence and not a lethal accident."
I cannot keep my ire straight; he's so largely misrepresenting so much that it's hard to point out EVERY BIT OF DATA that he's just manipulating or massaging.
