        Your books have had a profound impact on my life. I discovered you on How the Mind Works; learned to write from Words and Rules; and changed how I think about just everything from The Language Instinct. The Blank Slate, The Stuff of Thought & others. Enlightenment will enlighten!

        Steven, I'd love to see you make this case in Alabama at a Roy Moore rally.

        Please shoot up a flare if you ever get word that a Republican has read your book. My theory is they intentionally avoid enlightened discussion. It's a kind of intellectual phobia to preserve their belief in 1st century myth, among other lore (no climate change, slavery is okay).

        Look interesting. I loved your 'The Language Instinct', it was the second-most mind-blowing book that I read, second to Dawkins 'The Selfish Gene'.

        I think our morals are based on understanding what we, as humans, truly are and how we can co-exist through reason and science.

        When is your friend @SamHarrisOrg going to find out that he's signed his name to a book filled with lies? One that you endorsed?
