Jeremy Lent — integrator and author of ‘The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning’ — discusses the work of popular science author Steven Pinker and his defense of the “progress narrative” implicit in the neoliberal economic paradigm that dominates political and economic policy of the modern era. Jeremy initially presented his brilliant critique of Pinker’s work and the “progress narrative” in his widely-shared article ‘Steven Pinker’s Ideas About Progress Are Fatally Flawed. These Eight Graphs Show Why.’ Read that piece here: http://bit.ly/2MWuTmn
