  • COMMON KNOWLEDGE: Steven Pinker on Awkward Dates, Cancel Culture and the Necessity of Norms

    COMMON KNOWLEDGE: Steven Pinker on Awkward Dates, Cancel Culture and the Necessity of Norms
    Oct 23 2025
    As promised, today we’re bringing you a full-length interview with Steven Pinker about his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life. What is common knowledge? For Steve, it is not conventional wisdom. Instead, it’s when everyone knows something and everyone knows that and everyone knows it. That may sound loopy, but the implications of common knowledge — how it’s produced, sustained, and manipulated — are profound. “It's common knowledge,” Steve tells Rufus, “that makes humans human. Humans are not solitary. What makes humans humans is that we coordinate in groups — from couples to nations to, in some cases, the entire world — and I think common knowledge is the underpinning, the cement, the foundation of that ability to coordinate.” (8:00) Why “coffee” doesn’t just mean coffee (14:40) What blushes and laughter unintentionally reveal (30:39) The real reason brands spend millions on Super Bowl ads (35:00) How common knowledge explains cancel culture (48:43) What happens to society when norms collapse? — 📚 Want a signed copy of Brené Brown’s new book, access to our WhatsApp community, invitations to virtual Q&As with top authors, and seats at live events in NYC?

  • A Food Crisis Is Brewing. Are We Ready?

    A Food Crisis Is Brewing. Are We Ready?
    Oct 16 2025
    Caleb is joined by Sam Kass, former senior food policy advisor to President Obama and the chef who cooked dinner for the first family most nights. Now a partner at a venture capital firm investing in food and agriculture tech, Sam has a new book out, The Last Supper: How to Overcome the Coming Food Crisis. The situation, he says, is bleak. Almonds, artichokes, chocolate, coffee, oysters, rice, wine — all at risk due to climate change. And that’s not even close to the full list. Our food system is both driving the climate crisis and being devastated by it. But Sam argues we can still avert the worst if we start with culture, fix our policies, and deploy the right technology. (4:00) Cooking for the Obamas (7:49) How vulnerable is our food supply? (12:45) Can fixing the food system bring us together? (24:29) The food policies we need (27:38) Are we making America healthy again? (35:42) The technologies that can make a difference — Thoughts?

I love how the show helps me shift my paradigm, or gives me great ideas, or reaffirms ideas I already had. it's a great show I look forward to every episode. I've bought and read many books that I heard about on the show.

Great show

I really tried to keep a open mind for the "Drugs" episode that I listened to on another platform first. People with mental illnesses are "Non adults"? Are you kidding me? How in this age, can both the host and the interviewee be so ridiculously tone deaf and repeatedly refer to those who might suffer from genetically inherited mental illness issues "non adults" who chose not to "grow up". What great "science" they chose to spew on their platform. I'll never listen to another one of these again and hope that they choose to do better journalism in the future that more responsibly talks about a significant portion of the population that has already suffered enough bias.
