I don't think so. The person who you may be thinking of is likely Stephen Pinker, who has written on similar subjects: e.g. Dennett: Consciousness Explained; Pinker: How the Mind Works.
However, Professor Dennett's comments on twitter as linked by dmd apply to both Dennett and Pinker: One of Mr Epstein's occupations was basically getting close to many of the great and the good. Mr Epstein was skilled at it, and having large amounts of money to donate helped some. The bar for "involved" has to be higher than that.
