First off.. Steven Pinker is a brilliant writer. Great article.

Niemand.. with all due erspect, your "arrogance is so great as to step all over the dignity" of this article. You should read the article.

Krazy Kaju.. I disagree strongly. Explain why utilitarianism is the best possible ethical system please. I agree with part of Fido's response to your comment. Mostly how he demonstrates that you are begging the question..

This article really is great though, thank you for posting it. I got home a little while ago and had to read it again lol.
