TED
Steven Pinker's TED talk charts the long decline of violence from biblical times to today, arguing that despite Iraq and Darfur we may be living in the most peaceful era of our species.
Cited as a counterpoint when threads claim the world is getting worse, and for Pinker's view that technology and trade create positive-sum interactions.
