In this video Steven Pinker presents a brief history of violence showing evidence that violence has been in decline for long stretches of time and that today we're probably living in the most peaceful time in our species' existence: Critical Times Refuted and Modernity Defended!

I liked the video hamilcarr , thank you ..I wish the congregation at th K H would listen to it ..For how many years did we drink in gullibly the bad news that we heard about the "last days"?
May I refer also to one of the few threads that I have started?

Are We Living in Critical Times?
Three times a week when attending the Kingdom Hall meetings. Is that critical enough for you?

I don't see your point, real one. Do you mean the devil is making our world a better place to deceive us? That would be another nasty move of JHWH. Do you mean Satan could be right in challenging JHWH's sovereignty? That's not what the Watchtower learns. Explanation needed!

If Jesus didnt say it its a lie!
When did Jesus say we are living in critical times right now anno 2008? These are doctrines of men, not of Jesus.

This is a very narrow view you know. It's very important you get informed about our age because we get overwhelmed with deceitful information. Pinker's thesis was well-founded, he's a well-respected linguist who did a lot of great research in his domain.
