    Imagine having a lawyer ask you for your written opinion on a law about luring minors into sex and prostitution, and you just go "okay, here" and don't ask.... um, why? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-epstein-alan-dershowitz-steven-pinker …

        Actually, having read the article, the more stunning revelation is that Pinker regularly gave Dershowitz quotes to use in his cases. It's weird how Dershowitz somehow knew the definitions Pinker gave him would always help him with whatever court case he was working on.

        For that matter, why would a lawyer even be asking a linguist for advice on how to define the law? That's never been a linguist's job. I think what this exposes is that Dershowitz and Pinker were working together to manufacture smart-sounding quotes to support Dershowitz' cases.

        I think this is worth posting. “The skill of being a good liar is to weave an occasional lie into a largely truthful matrix, so people won’t simply write you off as not worth paying attention to." — Steven Pinker, 8 February 2001 For context. https://www.wordsmith.org/chat/pinker.html …

        It’s just amazing how much influence a rich man wields that does not involve money. Just being rich itself is enough. Need a quote from a Harvard professor, I know someone who knows someone.

        This Is what we like to refer to as, alternately, “galaxy brain” or “alt-right adjacent” because both demonstrate the absolutely ludicrous stupidity of these so-called “geniuses” Dumb as a doorknob, the whole lot

        I'm sorry, wat? The defence tried to use a linguistic interpretation of a law in their case? Not enough facepalms for this early of a morning.

        When you have an ego as massive as Pinkers, of course you expect people to ask your opinion on everything.
