I can't cite any data, but my gut tells me that the same thing happened to the word "feminism" as happened to "socialism," "communism," "anarchism," and "liberalism."  It's been so con...

It has probably not escaped your watchful eyes, but Pinker approvingly quoted or mentioned many champions of peace while carefully refraining from mentioning their very strong opposition to his pro-capitalist, pro-neoliberal, lib...

We here in the U.S. are tragically and dangerously ignorant and disrespectful of anything that takes place outside our borders.  Anyone who chooses to tread or trade on this ignorance  can have relatively easy time of it because most of ...

Great piece, Michael. I guess the left is "nuanced" after all! Particularly liked: "When a person privately does what they are supposed to do, acting honorably but in accord with their responsibilities and position...
