In this video, Pinker shares some of his ideas on rationality and human behavior.
Should we always heed rationality? How important is confidence? What role do
emotions play in decision-making? The Canadian scholar addresses these questions
and others in order to offer us insight into his unique way of thinking about and
interpreting the world.

Steven Pinker is an experimental cognitive psychologist who writes about language, the
mind and human nature. He studied at McGill University and earned his doctorate at
Harvard. He has given classes at Stanford and MIT and currently holds the ‘Johnstone
Family Professorship’ in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. His
research on vision, language and social relations has earned him recognition from
prestigious institutions such as the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Institution
of Great Britain, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, the American Psychological
Institution and an award from the Association for Psychological Science. He has also
received various honorary doctorates and numerous awards for his books The
Language Instinct, The Blank Slate, The Better Angles of Our Nature and
Enlightenment Now. He recently published Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems
Scarce, Why It Matters. Pinker was named Humanist of the Year in 2006 and has been
included in Foreign Policy’s “100 Global Thinkers” and Time magazine’s “100 Most
Influential People in the World Today”.
