How do you know what I know you know? Steven Pinker on common knowledge
Why do some ideas ripple through society while others fade unnoticed? Steven Pinker’s new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows, explores the quiet but powerful force behind our shared understandings: common knowledge. From traffic rules to viral outrage, it’s what allows people to coordinate—or collide. Pinker argues that much of human harmony and chaos stems from this invisible social glue, revealing how what we all know that we all know shapes everything from manners to markets to revolutions. David Adam with Nature has the interview and scoop on an author and book you may want to pick-up at Main Street Books.
