Funny how the top-rated review of this book on Goodreads ignores everything Pinker says about cognitive biases and probabilistic reasoning and claims that “There are no objective facts; such things are self-contradictory” as some strawman rebuttal. If true, then that statement itself is a contradiction.
I find it astonishing that people continue to conflate “rationality” with “objective facts” when the modern meaning of rationality acknowledges that the map is not the territory.
