"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

How is it that human beings have come to acquire language? Steven Pinker's introduction to the field includes thoughts on the evolution of spoken language and the debate over the existence of an innate universal grammar, as well as an exploration of why language is such a fundamental part of social relationships, human biology, and human evolution. | Big Think

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.

With Biden’s debate stumble, we all saw the emperor’s new clothes vanish in real time. But when Trump followed up weeks later babbling about people eating dogs and cats, many just shrugged. In this exchange with Bill Maher, I explain why. Maher: I agree, that happened. We all saw that debate and everybody changed their mind. Why didn't it happen when Trump debated a few weeks later and was ranting about "they're eating the dogs" and "they're eating the cats?" Because I thought that was the momen

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else k

Conversations with Coleman - Why did Biden’s debate flop change everything？ Coleman: I was commentating at CNN for the past, between like 2022 and 24, and I would notice every time the topic of Joe Biden's age came up, it seemed very obvious to me that Joe Biden was, like, if he were my grandfather, we would be telling him, you can't drive anymore, and all this kind of stuff. And then not only that, I would look at the polls, and it would say things like 60, 70 percent of Americans believe Biden

What does it mean to have—or not have—free will? Were the actions of mass murderers pre-determined billions of years ago? Do brain processes trump personal responsibility?
