"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

Discussing antisemitism at Harvard with Bill Maher last night. @billmaher. Me: Three out of our last three provosts were Jewish. The chairman of the board is Jewish. Forty percent of our university professors at the top rank are Jewish. It's hardly an anti-Semitic institution. Maher: Well, I've also seen a lot of Jews lately who are not really for Israel. Me: Well, that is true. That's a new thing. But the university is committed to academic freedom. People can say what they want, just as they c

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

60 Minutes: Harvard and the federal government have been in settlement talks for months, and in a statement, the Department of Education told us the Trump administration is actively working toward a deal with Harvard that holds them accountable for egregious civil rights violations and discrimination on campus, while restoring generous taxpayer dollar support to the institution. Harvard, in turn, says it's working to improve existing programs promoting ideological diversity. Me: Harvard has not

"The investments we have made in a whole generation of young scientists will go to waste," says Harvard professor Steven Pinker, co-chair of the university’s Council on Academic Freedom, on the Trump administration's $2.2 billion funding freeze on Harvard and the impacts it has on research. "There is a big, a large cohort of young scientists, who feel that their entire careers are being threatened. Not only will they be laid off and unemployed, but they just don't see a future in science," Pinke

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

“Social media now allow any of us to be an executioner or a grand inquisitor—pile on—and our tweet shaming someone could go viral or cause other people to tweet. That can happen in academia, where you can gin up a petition denouncing someone in a few minutes with social media. I have a chapter in When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows..., in particular on academic cancel culture—or cancel culture more generally—why people feel the urge to cancel, even in an arena like academia, which ought to b
