Reason is the key to moral progress

H/T to Julia Rogers for this suggestion. We'll view and discuss this TEDTalk on Sunday morning.

Here's the blurb and the link:

"Here's a TED first: an animated Socratic dialog! In a time when irrationality seems to rule both politics and culture, has reasoned thinking finally lost its power? Watch as psychologist Steven Pinker is gradually, brilliantly persuaded by philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein that reason is actually the key driver of human moral progress, even if its effect sometimes takes generations to unfold. The dialog was recorded live at TED, and animated, in incredible, often hilarious, detail by Cognitive."

Join us at 9:45 on January 25th.
