Episode 7: Is humanity progressing?

I'm joined with David Dittemore, a retired engineer and active member of the organization Veterans For Peace. David and I discuss Steven Pinker's book The Better Angels of our Nature: Why Violence has Declined. We also delve into issues relating to the death penalty, whether war is inevitable, and much more.
