The Modern Denial of Human Nature
Steven Pinker 

failed to fetch data: unkown error

The main goals of this book are:

1. To refute the “standard social science model” that human behavior is 100% explained by socialization and there is no such thing as human nature.
2. To argue that it is a mistake to believe that, (if it were only true) the blank slate would lead to morally superior outcomes in terms of avoiding prejudice, resurgent Nazism, etc.

As representative of the smarty-pants stance, we generally agree with the factual claims, but not the attitude.
