we thought we'd never read?
A superb talk by Steven Pinker.

The first ten minutes offers a load of evidence to prove the point that
we live in a peaceful world but we don't realise it.
If you're ever unhappy about the world then perhaps take the time to sit
through the first half of this video. We live in peace. In a way we live
in the future. Its not a perfect peace but its getting better all the
time and its come such a long way in the last few centuries. It can
always be better of course but its worth appreciating what's here now:
imperfect world peace.
