José González: Against the Dying of the Light (Enlightenment Values with Steven Pinker)
Enlightenment and the Case for Human Progress
Humanist Heavyweight Steven Pinker joins José González to unpack “Against the Dying of the Light,” a song inspired in part by Pinker’s book, “Enlightenment Now." Together they explore Enlightenment values, human nature, progress, algorithms, anger, AI, and whether reason, science, and empathy can still help us push back against darkness.
