"It's a complicated subject, but - How does the brain work? in five words or less?"

Hard question! Fair play to Pinker for coming up with an answer!

I can't believe I missed this episode! Luckily my advisor was surfing around and found it on your blog. Small world eh?

Thanks for this gem.

Very funny. Thanks for putting this up. A week ago, I wrote a post about a lecture that Steven Pinker gave at my school. I'm going to update the post with a link to yours (my post).

Steven Pinker gave two talks at TED that are well worth a look. Look him up at TED.com.
