Steven Pinker 1of3: The computational theory of mind

ugh.....please....go talk to wj freeman, pinker.

I think it's culturally biased to say the idea of eating worms is disgusting.

Forgive me, WHAT I'VE WRITTEN IS TOO SIMPLISTIC AND INACCURATE.

Many of the human mind's adaptations evolved through Natural Selection (what would help us survive).

I SLEPT AT ANOTHER HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS, Y'ALL.

EXCUSE ME, a good proprotion can be credited to SEXUAL SELECTION. Forgive me, Mr. Riddley.

Lust (or what most people prefer to call Love) and it's consequnces (offspring) is what drove the development of the human brain and just about all of it's functions. So you cannot say the emotion of Love (or what I like to call Lust) is a byproduct of the brain's true function (It is its sole function. Everything the brain does is tied into attracting and maintaining a mate). The two are inextricably tied together; one (Lust) causing the other (sophisticated functions of the brain).

How Sexual Selection shaped the mind. OKAY, my edcated nig, uh, excuse me my educated brotha. (You'd think The Mating Mind was the only evolutionary book I'd ever read in my life, huh.) HAHA

The mind is not a computer or a Swiss Army Knife or any other lame analogy similar to those that has been used to describe it.

Don't worry son, when you hit 50 you will find another use for your brain.

It's not just my brain, it's all ofour brains. And it's n ot just at this age, it's at every age of our lives. You're too unintelligent and uneducated to comprehend this. But keep reading my blogs and you might get an idea. And don't refer to me as son.

agree, zoaguyver. i mean really, did this guy not think for a second about what he was saying? 'engineering excellence of the mind' (!?) something engineered requires an engineer, definitive fact.

i cant see why he would choose such wording without having a really bad grasp of language or being a creationist (or any term you like for anyone above agnostic on the 'more than there is' belief scale. that said though, i know some agnostics that hold unevidenced, wish thinking type 'beliefs').

i think this is very likely to be quote-mined heavily by creationists judging from the over use of the word engineering.
