The Hidden Logic of Social Dynamics & Common Knowledge with Steven Pinker | The James Altucher Show

In this episode of The James Altucher Show, I sit down with renowned cognitive psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker to uncover the intricacies of social interactions and common knowledge, as discussed in his latest book. We explore the subtle art of communication through innuendos, winks, and laughter, and how these signals impact relationships, negotiations, and societal norms. Using examples from Seinfeld, poker, and real-life scenarios, we delve into the unwritten rules governing our social lives, the balance between directness and subtlety, and the underlying logic behind everyday actions. Plus, we touch on the role of humor in establishing common ground, the concept of radical honesty versus rational hypocrisy, and the phenomena of self-deception and jealousy in human behavior. 00:00 Understanding Social Cues and Humor 00:55 Introduction to the James Altucher Show 01:07 Promoting the Book and Common Sense 01:43 Communicating with Partial Information 04:15 The Role of Common Knowledge in Relationships 09:51 The Importance of Shared Humor 10:47 Laughter as a Social Tool 18:16 Hiring the Right People for Your Business 20:48 The Concept of Recursive Thinking 24:35 Navigating Social Interactions and Honesty 29:20 The Dual Levels of Communication 29:50 Politeness in Requests 30:33 Relationship Dynamics and Conflict 31:32 The Value of Understanding Social Norms 33:59 Unpredictability in Negotiations 35:41 Stock Market Speculations 38:17 The Hidden Logic of Social Life 44:07 The Toilet Paper Phenomenon 57:17 Jealousy and Self-Deception 01:00:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Subscribe here:    / jamesaltuchershow   Follow Me On Social ******************************** For media requests or interviews, please reach out to me at [email protected] Facebook   / jaltucher.blog   Instagram   / altucher   Twitter   / jaltucher
