A review by cfinnigan
The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker

Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.

Fuck this book. If you want to see Pinker beat up a straw man this is your book. Pinker premise is built on blatant misreadings of other people’s work. It’s so poorly sourced it descends into anecdotes. This book is why people make fun of evolutionary psychology. 

I was rereading it for a book club and realized I was wasting my one precious life watching this guy be aggressively wrong.
