Despite nightly news reports of violence, crime and war, Harvard University professor of psychology Steven Pinker says that we are living in the most peaceful period in human history. He joins Steve Paikin to tell him why violence has waned.
@Byronmu84 "effusively earnest" What are you talking about? Paikin is one of the best interviewers out there. Polite, intelligent and honest. Effusiveness is a trait he never displays in his interviews.
