Steven Pinker
author linguist evolutionist
polemicist
extraordinaire
a curly haired
jewish philosophical
would-be King Kong
but even after his
"Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science,
Humanism, and Progress"
wonders and is perturbed
by why music evolved
WTF What the hell? Huh?
Everything seemed settled.
But music:
What good does it do?
Darwinially
Darwinistically
Whereas I, having felt the force of
his arguments must needs nevertheless ask:
Why has such a thing as Pinker
evolved
Darwinially
Darwinistically
with what purpose?
if he can't imagine it
can't dance to it
How much, that is,
can he tell us?
