Questioning Steve Pinker’s Video, “Why Violence Has Declined”

The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined:

I tend to disagree with the view that violence is on the decline, because state-sponsored violence is on the rise, and slavery is at an all-time HIGH. Don’t get me wrong, though: while I can support his notion of “the better angels of our nature,” I still find Steven Pinker’s conclusions about violence trends questionable. In summary, his evidence is circumstantial,  there are large gaps in his data, and he vastly oversimplifies the social, political and technological dynamics at work throughout human history in order to reach his hypothesis.

The False Belief of Living In a “Free Country”

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Liberty Evolution,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"I want YOU (to disagree and fight amongst each other while I retain complete control)"

Rayn: Meanwhile, in other news, slavery is at an ALL-TIME high:

Shoutout those serfs still clinging to the flimsy claim of “progress” as justification for the world we live in, today.

Katherine C.: Didn’t finish the whole thing yet, but I must say, Some people just shouldn’t breed!

Rayn: It would do nothing to stop the abduction and sale of women into the large, highly-profitable underground, black-market of sex slavery. And, since some such women are chosen as breeding factories, forced to bear children directly into the sex slavery trade, the vicious cycle will continues, regardless of outside factors…

Katherine C.: I’m not saying it would stop it, but products of such horrible homes, such as the first story creates a “high risk victim”. All that means is that it’s easier to abduct these types since they don’t really have anyone that cares. I know people from all walks of life are exploited, but can you imagine if the majority of children abducted were children who had parents that would wreak havoc if their child went missing, versus someone who was a loner and came from a broken house.

Rayn: Of course. I didn’t think you meant that. I was just placing your sentiments in perspective of the entire picture, from my perspective. The large, underground international black-market meat-grinder of human flesh that spins on with very little notice must be exposed as a threat to ALL of humanity!

Sex Trafficking Runs Rampant in America

(When she first showed up at Children of the Night, a privately funded residential facility, “Jane” was angry. Arrested more than 20 times as a prostitute, she had been hardened by the street. She threw things at her counselors. Everyone was terrified by having to deal with her.

“She was just afraid. She was used to being treated so rough,” said Lois Lee, the Los Angeles group’s founder and president. “She didn’t know what to do with someone nice.”

Jane, not her real name, was just 14 when her life was taken over in Seattle by a 36-year-old man who said he loved her and promised to give her a better life. It was an easy sell: She was the product of a troubled home, where she was sexually molested by her father’s roommate. The abuse began when she was 4 years old. She also was molested at the day care center where she was taken every day.
