In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time, it seems to be losing its mind. How can a species that has discovered Covid-19 vaccines in less than a year produce so much fake news, bogus cures, and conspiracy theories? In Rationality, Pinker rejects the pessimistic stereotype that humans are simply an irrational species—cavemen out of time fatally cursed with prejudices, fallacies, and delusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives, and set standards for rationality itself. Instead, he explains, we think in ways that fit the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but we don't use the powerful reasoning tools we've developed over thousands of years: logic, critical thinking, probability, causal inference. and Decision Making under Uncertainty These tools are not a standard part of our training programs and have never been presented so clearly and entertainingly in a book - until now.
