All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Rerun: Ep69 “The Science Behind Why We Don’t Just Say What We Mean” with Psychologist Steven Pinker - Part 1 · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

If you want to maneuver people into a particular equilibrium, and suppose you are a totalitarian regime, it seems to me that the last thing you want to do is risk creating a focal point by saying that you're not allowed to say something or any decree.

Don't you think that a decree in and of itself could be the focal point that makes it the regime itself unravel?

Because you would still need sufficient, implausible denouncing.

reliability or as soon as it becomes common knowledge, the whole thing blows up.

So why do you think the Titarian regime still engaged so much into making forbidden word lists and putting out public decrees telling people what to do?

Because isn't that all that's needed to make it unravel?

Although I do think and and I think you see that, I mean when the Catholic Church banned books, I think that was the biggest assurance that the book was going to be read by a lot of people.

All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Rerun: Ep68 “Is It Better to Overestimate or Underestimate Your Enemies?” with H.R. McMaster · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

Welcome to the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.

I'm Jules van Binsbergen, Director of the Institute and a finance professor at the Wharton School.

Welcome back, everybody.

Today, I think we have an incredibly interesting episode focused on what I think is keeping a lot of people busy and awake at night.

And we want to think a little bit about the rising geopolitical tensions that we're witnessing in the world.
