October 4, 2007 By Guest Contributor 6 Comments

Reader Ash would like to remind any UK readers that Steven Pinker, author of The Blank Slate and the upcoming new release The Stuff of Thought, will be speaking in Brighton next Monday night.

If you’re looking for intellectual stimulation (or trying to impress a girl by making her think you’re into things that are intellectually stimulating), go check it out!

Details are here.

    The Stuff of Thought is no longer an upcoming release. I saw it in Borders this evening.

    I saw Pinker speak about The Stuff of Thought at Cal Tech a few days ago. He was very funny and made the subject interesting and accessible. Well worth it.

    Darn! I wish I would’ve gone now. I planned to be there but I got distracted and never made it over. :-(

    or trying to impress a girl by making her think you’re into things that are intellectually stimulating

    To be fair, in Brighton you may well do better trying to impress a boy (assuming you’re a boy as well, that is.)

    …which is what I’d be doing there, were I not on the other side of the world ;-)

    Brighton’s a nice place. I wish I was back there now.
