In this video, Steven Pinker reflects on the state of rationality in society. “We are currently faced with rationality inequality”, the intellectual asserts. The psychologist and linguist from Harvard analyzes the role played by Enlightenment thinkers in the advancement that has shaped present-day society. “Since the age of Enlightenment we have looked for institutions that collectively seek truth,” states Pinker in reference to journalism, science and the justice system. He argues that “rationality is a way of using knowledge to obtain a goal” and reflects on the role that emotions play in decision- making. “It's all about emotions, but we need rationality to negotiate these tradeoffs between emotions”, he states.
