Danh ngôn của Steven Pinker
Academics lack perspective. In a debate on whether the world is round, they would argue, 'No,' because it's an oblate spheroid. They suffer from 'the curse of knowledge': the inability to imagine what it's like not to know something that they know.

Giới học thuật thiếu quan điểm. Trong một cuộc tranh luận về việc liệu thế giới có tròn hay không, họ sẽ tranh luận: “Không”, bởi vì nó là một hình cầu dẹt. Họ mắc phải 'lời nguyền của kiến thức': không có khả năng tưởng tượng việc không biết điều gì đó mà họ biết sẽ như thế nào.

- The oceans are more or less in disrepair. Long Beach really is making an effort to acknowledge this, and that's a great place to start. I'm trying to spread at least the knowledge that it's never too early to take care of our oceans and our environment.
- The majority of the wealth of human knowledge is owned by a few publishing companies that hoard information and make billions off licensing fees, although most scholarly articles and journals are paid for by taxpayers through government grants.

- Here is an entirely banal idea that I think has the potential to change the world: Take evidence seriously. Taking evidence seriously does not mean privileging numbers over all other forms of knowledge - theories, narratives, images.
