steven pinker's quote from this article (under his photo):

"For verbs, MIT is the best place; but for human nature and its
implications, Harvard is the most important place."


translation:

"For applying hard science to psychology, MIT is the best place; but
Harvard is where I can talk a lot and feel important."

I think it's better for everyone that Pinker is at Harvard...
