The link to the document in question, "Open Letter to the Linguistic Society of America," was tweeted yesterday by Pinker's fellow linguist John McWhorter, who clearly dislikes the letter. And, indeed, the letter is worthy of Stalinism in its distortion of the facts in trying to damage the career of an opponent. At least they don't call for Pinker to be shot in the cellars of the Lubyanka!
After I read the letter and decided to respond to it, I contacted Steve, asking him questions, and he gave me permission to quote some of his answers, which were sent in an email. (Steve, by the way, has never asked me to defend him; I do so in this case because of the mendacity of the letter.)
Comment: Yet another example of the woke left trying to cancel someone who counters their ideological mistruths with facts and logic. It's completely unsurprising that they would come after Pinker, one who is so efficient at countering the activists with simple data that proves how badly they've been mislead (not to say he's always right, of course).
