Comment on Steven Pinker makes case for human progress in ‘Enlightenment Now’parent

I don't generally agree with Noam Chomsky (on some things I do, but that should hopefully be irrelevant to the point I'm making here), but I don't understand why this would be controversial to say.

Our biggest problem right now is intellectual laziness and "being on the team.". We need more speech, not less. We should be reading and listening outside of our comfort zones. Let's started engaging with the strongest arguments of each side! Steelman over strawman!
