        Brilliant interview and brilliant and very eloquent answers by @sapinker ! Philosopher Rob Riemen was no match! (if he was supposed to be a match, that is :) ). Neuroscientist Tali Sharot was good.

        Stephen Pinker was eloquent, but Rob Riemen seemed to have a better understanding of the role of human nature #StarttheWeek #andrewmarr

        @BBCr4today - applaud the start of an informed discussion w Pinker and the other author/thinkers. tantalising, more, when you consider @Number10press PMs announcement abt massive changes ahead for higher education.
