Steven Pinker Quotes

Imagine That You Are Agonizing Over A Choice - Which Career To Pursue, Whether To Get Married, How To Vote, What To Wear That Day. You Have Finally Staggered To A Decision When The Phone Rings. It Is The Identical Twin You Never Knew You Had. During The Joyous Conversation It Comes Out That She Has Just Chosen A Similar Career, Has Decided To Get Married At Around The Same Time, Plans To Cast Her Vote For The Same Presidential Candidate, And Is Wearing A Shirt Of The Same Color - Just As The Behavioral Geneticists Who Tracked You Down Would Have Bet. How Much Discretion Did The "you" Making The Choices Actually Have If The Outcome Could Have Been Predicted In Advance, At Least Probabilistically, Based On Events That Took Place In Your Mother's Fallopian Tubes Decades Ago?
