The hidden logic of human harmony
常识是社会生活的隐形引擎，它让我们能够协调从朋友聚会、市场交易到国际外交的一切活动。在这场引人入胜的演讲中，实验认知科学家史蒂芬·平克深入探讨了常识的深远影响，通过一系列生动案例串联起。他以机智与洞见，带领我们重新理解人类如何构建共同认知——当社会共识动摇时，又将意味着什么？
Common knowledge is the secret engine of social life, letting us coordinate everything from meet-ups to markets to international diplomacy. In this fascinating talk, experimental cognitive scientist Steven Pinker explores its momentous impact, threading together stories of why autocrats fear blank signs, why central bankers mumble and why saying the quiet part out loud can wreck a friendship. With wit and wisdom, he invites us to better understand the ways we get into each other’s heads — and what it means when shared norms wobble.
