Steven Pinker: I've been part of some not so successful attempts to come up with secular humanist substitutes for religion.

Steven Pinker: Probably the rationalist solstice in Berkeley, which included hymns to the benefits of global supply chains. I mean, I actually completely endorse the lyrics of the song, but there's something a bit cringe about the performance.
