George Lakoff Quotes:
Ocupation: Linguist
Life: b. May 24, 1941
Birthday: May 24
One of the things cognitive science teaches us is that when people define their very identity by a worldview, or a narrative, or a mode of thought, they are unlikely to change-for the simple reason that it is physically part of their brain, and so many other aspects of their brain structure would also have to change; that change is highly unlikely.
