"But what is a mental image? Not for the last time, I got caught up, when I was in graduate school, in a raging controversy called the imagery debate. And this was a debate over the format of mental imagery. Now, everyone reports the experience of a mental picture, and that’s the way we describe it in English. But, of course, there isn’t a real picture in the brain. It isn’t as if there’s a little man sitting in a theater who’s looking at a screen. The behaviorists were right about this. How do

I explain why the accusation that Israel is committing genocide is blood libel. Me: The application of the word genocide to refer to tens of thousands of war deaths is, I mean, I think it is a kind of blood libel. It's trying to import the moral opprobrium that we associate with genocide to a designated enemy, in this case, Israel. I think because I alluded to my side bias, the sides in this case being the sides that a lot of hard left critical theory has defined, namely white oppressors against

On Trump flouting norms and why this is a negative development: "[One of the] remarkable things about Donald Trump—and uniquely among American politicians—is that he has violated norms that have been in place, such as: you don’t boast, you don’t blatantly lie. I mean, all politicians lie because all human beings lie. But they lied under the cover of claiming to be honest. With Trump, it’s patent that he just doesn’t care about factual accuracy. He’ll say things that are in his interest and that

Me: What the Trump administration is doing by this trolling—by this contempt for standards of evidence, truth, sound argument—is what many dictators have done. Namely, not so much lie, because people can see through lies. But just as Steve Bannon put it, flood the zone with—we're on the radio—so, flood the zone with feces; he didn’t use the word feces. That is, spread so much nonsense, some things that are true, some things that are false, that people just feel there’s no way to tell the differe

The French Revolution was a disaster: killed 2 million people, led to the rise of Napoleon--perhaps the world's first totalitarian fascist dictator, who began wars of conquest that killed an additional 4 million people, led to the restoration of slavery, to the restoration of the monarchy, and a delay of democracy in France by perhaps a century. Russian Revolution killed several million, led to the Russian Civil War--which killed another 9 million--led to the rise of Stalin, who killed 20 millio

On Putin's invasion of Ukraine: “This really was a stunning breach of the norm since 1945: that borders are grandfathered in; nation-states are immortal. The borders may be irrational; they may be all kinds of grounds for irredentist claims—‘Well, that patch of land on your side of the border really historically and morally ought to be on our side’—which could lead to endless wars. But good fences make good neighbors. There they are, and if you just say, ‘The borders are the borders,’ then you a

Ditching high school trigonometry for *what*? Harvard's Steven Pinker lays out the case for swapping out the obscure for the undeniably useful: probability and bulletproof critical thinking. Discover why building the strongest version of your opponent's argument—the steel man—is the ultimate way to win a debate, and how to spot lazy logic like straw-manning and arguments from authority. This is the mental software upgrade everyone needs for genuine rationality. #StevenPinker #CriticalThinking #L
