    Such a beautiful human being. It's always a pleasure to listen to Professor Pinker. He always brightens the mood.

    Steven Pinker has renewed my hope for humanity. When I become frustrated with human stupidity and pettiness I think about his brilliance. The Better Angeles of Our Nature has given me an optimistic view on the course of civilization that soothes my soul (puts my mind at ease).

    Steve’s always great, but Sally did a great job on this interview. One of the best I’ve seen. Concise, intelligent and not overly concerned with being politically correct with every statement you say.

    That "short manifesto" he mentions near the end turned out pretty well.

    This was wonderfully thoughtful and inspiring. Thanks very much, Steven Pinker, Sally Satel, APS, film crew, and all who helped bring it together. Bravo!

    What a thoughtful, serene, lucid, enlightened man! He's almost like an alien or a robot from the future sent to teach us....and then one finds out that he's an atheist, and you think, well yes, what else could he be? What is religion for, again? What does religion give you that Pinker doesn't already have? This calm, content, peaceful man.

    He is a good empiricist and Darwinist but like most empiricists today he does not understand consciousness as most scientists, philosophers or psychologists do not, it being described as The Hard Problem. Like most empiricists he is an atheist and approaches reality from that perspective.
