Steven Pinker Quotes

Cademics And Intellectuals Are Culture Vultures. In A Gathering Of Today's Elite, It Is Perfectly Acceptable To Laugh That You Barely Passed Physics For Poets And Rocks For Jocks And Have Remained Ignorant Of Science Ever Since, Despite The Obvious Importance Of Scientific Literacy To Informed Choices About Personal Health And Public Policy. But Saying That You Have Never Heard Of James Joyce Or That You Tried Listening To Mozart Once But Prefer Andrew Lloyd Webber Is As Shocking As Blowing Your Nose On Your Sleeve Or Announcing That You Employ Children In Your Sweatshop, Despite The Obvious Unimportance Of Your Tastes In Leisure-time Activity To Just About Anything.
