Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on September 18, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Steven Pinker! May your celebrations evolve into something truly memorable—though we know you're skeptical about blank slates. Your brilliant insights have illuminated the mysteries of language and cognition, making evolutionary psychology accessible (and even fun!) for all.

From decoding human nature to challenging conventional wisdom in "The Blank Slate," you've consistently inspired curiosity and critical thinking worldwide. While you narrowly missed that Pulitzer Prize back in 2003, rest assured: today we're awarding you our heartfelt admiration—and perhaps a slice of cake shaped like a brain!

Here's wishing another year filled with groundbreaking ideas and linguistic adventures!
