Steven Pinker's talk (reviewing downward-trending measures of human violence.) Those seemed pretty information-dense and covered topics that I didn't know much about.

But Pinker wrote a whole (excellent, highly recommended) book about that - was there anything new?

Sure, but I didn't read it! If I had to guess I doubt that much of it was new.
