Salon of the Refused, Episode 14

Episode 14 of my video and podcast series, Salon of the Refused, is now available.

I talk with Steven Pinker, author of Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, about the legacy of the Enlightenment. The conversation includes: exactly how good the state of the world is, "thick" versus "thin" philosophy, the Counter-Enlightenment backlash, Ayn Rand, the welfare state, and why it's ironic that everyone is so eager to watch "Game of Thrones."

The podcast is available through iTunes or Google Play, or listen to it here.
