Not a good intellectual match. He blamed Pinker for being overly optimistic about the accomplishments of science while neglecting some of science’s negative out comes. Metazas also adds an ad hominem attack on the late Stephen Hawking, with an out of context quote.He finishes with an unabashed plug to join John Stonestreet’s Colson Fellows Program.
