While I appreciate Pinker's attempt at relentless positivity, he does gloss over important things. What do we do with all the radioactive waste we'll produce to give clean energy to the world? Why use absolute numbers to try to make the (very tone-deaf) case that police shoot as many white people as black people? The latter has me very concern about what other stats he plays fast and loose with.
