Stuff of Thought and Why People Believe Weird Things

Currently reading another Pinker, "The Stuff of Thought". In the 4th chapter, very language oriented now but expect to head toward cognitive neuroscience later. Also reading "Why People Believe Weird Things" by skeptic Shermer. Well done, good illustrations, not at all overbearing. Have Wilson's "The Social Conquest of Earth" on my Kindle to read next.
