RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Pinker's latest stinker

Well, you can get some kind of idea about violent death from the archaeological record, but obviously that's only going to be an incomplete representation. Re: "Sky is falling," the formula reminds me of a standard Lomborg-esque Cornucopian tract. Progress marches on!

Progress is not, in itself, necessarily "good" or "better". Personally, i am now doing not only the paralegal research on Native issues, but the book keeping, and some of the legal support just cause it's so much easier to do research now, i have free time. I do 3 jobs, thanks to computers. I do not get 3 salaries. damn it. ;-)

And by teh way, the sky IS falling if the issue directly effects me. that's human nature. :-)

I guess I needed a /sarcasm after that last sentence.
