Steven Pinker Quotes
When People Have Different Ideas About Which Of These Four Modes Of Interacting Applies To A Current Relationship, The Result Can Range From Blank Incomprehension To Acute Discomfort Or Outright Hostility. Think Abut A Dinner Guest Offering To Pay The Host For Her Meal, A Person Barking An Order To A Friend, Or An Employee Helping Himself To A Shrimp Off The Boss' Plate. Misunderstandings In Which One Person Thinks Of A Transaction In Terms Of Equality Matching And Another Thinks In Terms Of Market Pricing Are Even More Pervasive And Can Be Even More Dangerous. They Tap Into Very Different Psychologies, One Of Them Intuitive And Universal, The Other Rarefied And Learned, And Clashes Between Them Have Been Common In Economic History.
