This guy sounds like Hannibal Lecter.

The inner mechanations of my mind...are an enigma.

@GohModley Never said he was.

@SirGeorge8600 How is he wrong?

@5544andrew Well, hopefully happy that as many people as possible can take part in experiencing the book.

Thanks!

I think I purchased the incorrect book. I purchased "How the mind works" by Steven Pinker, but chapter 1 Standard Equipment says not what is being read in this video!

@5544andrew I'm sure 46,136 plays doesn't reflect the number of people who would've purchased his material instead. : - |
lol, jk. Thanks.

@sc00f Thanks I'm asking because I also tried to find it out. What strikes me is that he's been working there for 21 years! And I wonder what was he doing there and how many discoveries has he made. But thanks for your reply, I appreciate

@pawsoned There isn't much info about it online, except that he mostly researched psycholinguistics and language acquisition of children. He worked there for 21 years until 2003, and these are the major topics of his books between that period. To see his current researches, check out his Harvard home page. Example: "using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and intracranial encephalography (iEEG) with epilepsy patients to investigate the neural organization of language".
I wish Pinker himself would have been the reader / speaker for his book.

@tculig Haha well if you read enough of his work you'll learn that it's not possible since high IQ is a matter of genetic nature and not something that can be achieved through worked nurture....that's Pinker for you...
