Episode 7: Is humanity progressing?

from Truth Island Hosted by Aaron Azerad

I'm joined with David Dittemore, a retired engineer and active member of the organization Veterans For Peace. David and I discuss Steven Pinker's book The Better Angels of our Nature: Why Violence has Declined. We also delve into issues relating to the death penalty, whether war is inevitable, and much more. While no prerequisites are required, links are included down below for Pinker's book and a link to support Veterans For Peace.
