Steven Pinker Returns to the Truro Meeting House
July 12, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
A Zoom webinar co-sponsored with the Truro Public Library
In his forthcoming book Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters (Viking, September 28, 2021), Pinker takes on the question of how a species that developed vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produces so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing. Join us on Zoom to get a preview of new insights on society’s biases, fallacies, and illusions, and of how rationality, the ultimate driver of social justice and moral progress, leads to better choices in our lives and in the public sphere. We have 100 spaces for this webinar. Please register by clicking this link!
