An Animated Steven Pinker

After seeing the Steven Pinker lecture I posted a few weeks ago, a reader shared this RSA Animate version of Pinker's "Language as a Window into Human Nature".

RSA is the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and they have been taking portions of lectures by well-known professionals in various fields and animating them with cartoon drawings to accompany the speakers.

Entertaining, informative, and well worth the watch.



Thank you Licia from Terminologia etc. for bringing this video and the series to my attention.

An Excellent Introduction to Steven Pinker

For those who may not have heard of Steven Pinker, a cognitive scientist and linguist who currently teaches at Harvard, and for those who may not have seen this lecture based on his outstanding book The Stuff of Thought, here is the video from YouTube.

It is well worth the watch.
