This is the first time I've ever seen Steven Pinker in interview. My first thought, watching and listening to him, is what a perfectly
nice person he is, in his secular Jewish, Mendelssohnian way. Lots nicer than Noam Chomsky, though similarly intelligent and (it just occurs to me), I suppose, similarly Jewish. He makes utter hash of mine and Stephen Jay Gould's silly-ass, knee-jerk objections to the unknowableness of "evolution" in psychology. Which is good, because I wasn't really at all comfortable sharing opinion/space with
that loathsome bugger.
