by bemty Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:05 pmja i ne kacim ove statistickije tekstove na koje nailazim. ali nasla sam da mu je npr neki antropolog razvalio podatke o smrti u 'pre-state societies'. tipa, ubacio je u podatke dva puta isto groblje jer nije znao da se vodi pod dva naziva u literaturi (ali je naveo razlicite brojke jer nije ukacio da se kriterijumi za ukljucivanje u podatke razlikuju)... i tako to.

Da, da, toga se sećam. (Kažem ti, opsesivno sam tražio.)
AKo se dobro sećam, nešto ga je i Taleb penalio oko statistike, ali tu već nisam mogao da procenim ko je u pravu, a nisam se baš ni udubljivao.
R. Brian Ferguson, professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University–Newark, has challenged Pinker's archaeological evidence for the frequency of war in prehistoric societies, which he contends "consists of cherry-picked cases with high casualties, clearly unrepresentative of history in general."[26] Whereas "[b]y considering the total archaeological record of prehistoric populations of Europe and the Near East up to the Bronze Age, evidence clearly demonstrates that war began sporadically out of warless condition, and can be seen in varying trajectories in different areas, to develop over time as societies become larger, more sedentary, more complex, more bounded, more hierarchical, and in one critically important region, impacted by an expanding state." Ferguson's examination contradicts Pinker's claim that violence has declined under civilization, indicating the opposite is true.

And Will's father stood up, stuffed his pipe with tobacco, rummaged his pockets for matches, brought out a battered harmonica, a penknife, a cigarette lighter that wouldn't work, and a memo pad he had always meant to write some great thoughts down on but never got around to, and lined up these weapons for a pygmy war that could be lost before it even started

Trends are so clear, linear, and consistent when you just make up the pre-1980s data. The World Values Survey started in 1981.

These data are linear extrapolations to the pre-1980 period (as presented in Welzel 2013) apparently with some added noise for looks? https://t.co/M69abiU7nB

Large Saudi social media account cites "world famous psychologist" Jordan Peterson to justify gender segregation. Peterson is crossing the language barrier, inspiring misogynists the world over. https://t.co/I2I4StcibG

"... you know it also seems that there's a certain amount of resentment that is driving that as well and that would go along with the status competition because there's anger i suppose if you're a member of an elite group to see that your paradigm let's say isn't leading the charge forward"

The Stanford Prison Experiment—since 1971 held up as proof that people do bad things only because of bad circumstances—was a fraud. Philip Zimbardo told the guards to be cruel, told the prisoners they couldn’t leave, then tried to censor criticism. https://t.co/dULg7hTntc

Much of what Pinker writes about the humanities would be a comical caricature if it did not represent a
coherent ideological offensive that is reshaping higher education and research.
16 Like general systems theory in
the 1950s or logical positivism in the 1920s, the cognitive sciences are yet another pipe dream of unification
of the social and the natural sciences, with the humanities now thrown in for good measure. Like these prior
attempts, they will probably fail, but in the process of reshaping the intellectual and academic landscape, they
are imposing a new standard in the construction of what counts as knowledge. This standard is based on an
increasingly seamless integration between cognition and economics that in large part reflects a new social
organization of knowledge. Under this new regime, data points and factoids gleaned on the internet, evidence
and visual effects, scientific proof and a TED Talk, and validity and celebrity often risk getting hopelessly
blurred. There is nothing wrong with “evidence-based” research, which is why Steven Pinker should be held
to its demanding standards, including the very Kantian one of understanding its limitations (Kant called it the
“critical” use of reason—something Pinker does not seem to like very much). Not all important questions can
be answered in such terms. Evidence is not always easy to define, nor is it always quantifiable. Bringing the
issues of life and death, war and peace, population and poverty, race and inequality into a PowerPoint-like
narrative of universal and linear human progress that dispenses with the complexities of history and politics is
meaningless. Suggesting that these complexities must be dispensed with because they prevent us from seeing
progress is a fraud. Yet, one quickly realizes that Pinker’s Enlightenment is made of plasterboard and that the
progress that runs through it is one mile wide only because, like Enlightenment Now, it is one inch deep.

A remarkable feature of Enlightenment Now is indeed its history without historical agents and without
power, in which “science,” “reason,” “capitalism” or “industrialism” dispense their benefits to an ungrateful
mankind. It is not the organized working classes that wrested concessions from capital but “capitalist societies” that spent on welfare; it is not the conquest of social and economic rights but “industrial capitalism”
that “launched the Great Escape from universal poverty in the 19th century and is rescuing the rest of
humankind in a Great Convergence in the 21st” (364). The result is a warped vision in which those who do
not partake in the benefits of progress are simply not seeing things as they should and any politics based on
them would not be “evidence-based” and thus flawed. In the heydays of Stalinism, such considerations where
denounced as ‘subjectivism’—and so, it seems, under high neoliberalism. If you are an Alabama mother who
lost her child because of the social effects of economic and racial inequality in a dysfunctional health care
system, it may be too bad, but in the great scheme of things you should find solace in the beautiful trade-off
of which you are the losing end. If you have just lost your home to a foreclosure, you are probably too
emotional to see that “we” have globally become wealthier. Or could it be that it is because you are irrational
in the first place that the market—the greatest natural selector of all for Hayek and, it seems, Pinker
himself—has selected you out? Who knows? And who cares? You cannot stop progress.

Even this review is the result of a bias exposed on page 48: “Experiments have shown that a critic who pans a book is perceived as more competent than a critic who praises it.” Having failed to enroll in a debiasing program, I hope the reader will pardon my incapacity to raise above my own cognitive limitations.
