Pretty good interview...not as spectacular as last one, when Colbert asks Pinker, "How does the brain work...in 5 words or less"...and Pinker replies, on the spot, "brain cells fire in patterns"
Steven Pinker is awesome. His throwaway pop culture references and easy-going style disguise the importance of his work.
