Trial and Error

Steven Pinker, a linguist and cognitive psychologist at Harvard, is known for his provocative insights into the mind, language, and rationality. One thing I love about Pinker’s work is the crystalline clarity of his prose. Agree with the man or not—you always know exactly what he’s trying to say.‍
