The only reason I don't give 5 is because some stupid editor did not abilities the hyperlinks in this ebook !!!Outside of that BIG problem for (since I like references) me it's a very readeable account, on the optimistic side, not too savvy on agricultural workings ( still thinking that the tech people will feed us). An extraordinary account on the enrichment period, I kind of wished it had more data and graphs to backup his optimism.

Steven Pinker is an excellent communicator. (Just because it is his job, it does not necessarily follow that he is so). Nevertheless, it is the clear and well presented subject matter, that Pinker details at great length in this book, that is what he is good at. This book is upto date and provides the reader with an informed and well articuated overview of 21st century thinking, in all of its diversity.

No comparto las opiniones del autor, este libro quiere probar que la humanidad sigue progresando irremediablemente, no repara en la desigualdad, la miseria, las guerras y en todo lo que falló de la Ilustración. No entiendo como alguien puede sostener esta hipótesis, quiere escribir algo ligero pero su punto se vista es unilateral y poco incluyente. Ni siquiera acabé de leerlo

Pinker's sequel to the Better Angels of Our Nature is a passionately written but dispassionately argued assertion that, contrary to all the garbage we are fed by the media and populists, the Enlightenment as delivered by modern science, reason and humanism has worked beyond anyone's wildest dreams. In making the case, Pinker points to data - 'we count' as the medicine to counter overly negative assertions to the contrary. And he pulls out the data - table after table reveals exactly how the appliance of science and to a large extent, free markets are making lives longer, healthier, wealthier, wiser, safer, etc.For Pinker, the starting point isn't God, it's entropy. Without human beings pursuing rational solutions, everything devolves into chaos. That's why progress happens - it isn't fate or the arc of history - it's us, working to overturn problems by using reason. That is why he is not an optimist -a ridiculous assertion if you read this book. Pinker believes that the counter Enlightenment, Romanticism, is the mortal enemy, aided and abetted by the Availability bias identified by Tversky and Kahneman. Romanticism creates and re-inforces a pessimistic view of human progress - we are destroying the world, natural is good, mankind is bad - that we have to confront and overcome. Predictions of overpopulation, environmental catastrophe, etc. are products of this irrational thinking. For Pinker, if you use reason to identify a problem you use science to help overcome it. You develop new tools when you need them or use old tools when you have them. I find his approach laudable, as it diminishes the self flagellation that religion, with its apocalyptic negativity, and puts us on more positive, solution oriented thinking. Whenever we get too Romantic, we create vicious over-reactions to real problems - like Marxism - which prove to be worse than the problems identified.Pinker is not PC and seems unafraid of the attacks being prepared for him by the Romantics (Trumpian, left environmentalists, deniers of human nature, etc). He is armed to the teeth with reason, science and humanity, and seems ready to take on all comers.I have never felt prouder to be a secular humanist than when I finished this sharply written, factually dense and closely argued book. A must read for intelligent people who like facts to understand the world..
