Since I do not have the time to do the research, and produce a live TalkShoe program, at a good day and time. I instead do the research that I might do for the show, I then convert some of the materials to audio and post the whole works or parts with links to more in my archive. I then post scheduled shows to announce the recorded materials just posted and related material I may have posted in the past.

https://youtu.be/CcIL_JFmBtk {:} Steven Pinker argues that the world is becoming a safer, better place, or, for the cynics amongst us, a less horrible place. His thesis is that, over the course of the past millennia, violence has drastically decreased. Pinker studies all causes of death from different eras and finds that murder rates are falling everywhere and that, from research taken from archaeological sites, the average death due to violence of the prehistoric man was around 15%, in contrast to a mere 3% in the first half of the 20th Century, which included the bloodiest wars ever recorded. These are just some of the many wonderful facts his talk was filled with which he delivered with clarity and a touch of humour.
