Yup


Science is neither a philosophy nor a belief system. It is a combination of mental operations that has become increasingly the habit of educated peoples, a culture of illuminations hit upon by a fortunate turn of history that yielded the most effective way of learning about the real world ever conceived. E.O.Wilson

Our chat room can hold an unlimited number of people now. If you guys know friends that might enjoy attending the chat you are welcome to invite them. Please make sure they are mature and interested in the subject matter of Pinkers book...even if they haven't actually read the book.
