Discuss. Ron Bailey writes about Stephen Pinker’s unmentionable questions. Among them:
Are suicide terrorists well-educated, mentally healthy and morally driven?
Would the incidence of rape go down if prostitution were legalized?
Do African-American men have higher levels of testosterone, on average, than white men?
Is morality just a product of the evolution of our brains, with no inherent reality?
Would society be better off if heroin and cocaine were legalized?
Is homosexuality the symptom of an infectious disease?
I find all those questions fascinating and well worth airing. Pinker is not so sure.
