Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. This episode is a recording of a live

conversation that I had at the Comedy Cellar in New York City with the great Stephen Pinker.

Stephen is a Canadian-American cognitive psychologist, linguist, and popular science author. He's

the Johnstone family professor of psychology at Harvard University, and he previously taught at

MIT and Stanford. Today we're discussing his new book, when everyone knows that everyone knows.

This book answers questions like, why did Biden's bad debate performance lead to his ouster when

most Americans already believed he was too old, and also questions like,

why do dictators hate comedy? Along the way, we also talk about U.S. foreign policy in general,

where Stephen and I have some disagreements. We talk about how to apologize to people and when to

apologize to people, and we even talk about read receipts. So without further ado, Stephen Pinker.
