🤗 Steven Pinker new Premium Supporter
The other night I let out such a whoop of joy that my wife wondered what was going on.
We are optimists not by DNA or upbringing, but because we look at the facts of the world and see progress. If we do more of the things that have improved the world, the future is going to be even better.
That is why we call ourselves fact-based optimists.
No one in the world has provided us with more facts that make us optimistic than Harvard professor Steven Pinker.
Therefore I gave off a shout of joy the other night, and immediately ran to my wife and showed her that Steven Pinker had joined Warp Premium Supporter.
So if you are looking for something to read this Christmas, Enlightenment Now should be top of your list.
