What a wonderful thing, to see Steven Pinker's photography. I never knew... :)

I'm interested in these guys as people, who they are beyond their public image of science poularizers. People like Dawkins and so on.

I'm also looking forward to his next book, which I think he has given glimpses of in some talks, when he discusses the apparent general decrease of violence over the centuries. I was very excited to hear that he will actually be writing about it. Make it 600 pages long, Mr. Pinker!!
