Progress report. I'm not even on pg. 100 of Better Angels of Our Nature yet, and I'm feeling just a little weary. Reason: Pinker presents himself as a debunker of a Great Myth. What's the myth? That over the course of history, humanity has become more and more violent. But the thing is, I have no great attachment to that myth - if it's a myth - so I don't need 700+ pages worth of disabusing
