Compete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/09/12/Stev... Psychologist Steven Pinker explains why political rhetoric often tends to be vague, empty, and bland. ----- One of the principal researchers on language and cognition, Steven Pinker turns his focus to what our language says about us. He explores the sometimes comic, sometimes tragic ways our mind works, using language as a clue. Why do we impose taboos on certain topics, like sex? Why do we go to great lengths to bribe or convince? What do our swear words (and their syntax) say about us? How do our minds handle the large amount of information targeted at us each day? - The Commonwealth Club of California Steven Pinker is a prominent Canadian-American experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist and popular science writer known for his wide-ranging advocacy of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind.Pinker is also a Harvard College Professor and Johnstone Family Professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. Until 2003, he taught in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT.

Pinker couldn't have been more right. Obamanomics has been a complete failure.

So fun when you get to tell progressive atheists or "free thinkers" as many like to call that both Steven Pinker and Michael Shermer are liertarians. You can hear a good chunk of them shitting themselves in disbelief.

Good, the leftists stole the word liberal. They never had any right to it.

The fictionalized reality of this bearing any semblance to a Republic has been thoroughly dispelled at this stage in the game and yet the theatre continue's. It's insulting.
