“I just finished listening to the first episode with Steven Pinker. I have seen Prof. Pinker’s tweets and heard about his work but never exposed myself to his work, including his books. I feel I learned a lot from the conversation. I got strong inspiration for making a difference about climate change. The part you are talking about language and linguistics is fascinating. I have come to think that languages are the best open-sourced software that the humankind has invented and it would be better to maintain diversity of languages rather than to seek to unify the world with a so-called lingua franca. You would be surprised that someone like me who is trained as an economist has come across with such an idea. I look forward to the next episode.”
