Steven Pinker on How Common Knowledge Rules Our Lives

Steven Pinker on How Common Knowledge Rules Our Lives

Recorded live at the Comedy Cellar in New York City: I sat down with Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, best-selling author, and world-class debunker of doom, to talk about his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…:Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life. We got into this idea of “common knowledge”: what we all know and know that everyone else knows. It may sound abstract, but really it underlies everything. It is our shared awareness that lets us coordinate, bluff, protest, and panic together. We also talk about assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the changing style of comedy and its audience, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
