In the very first episode of the series, host Ian Mark is talking to Kyle Thomas, the Chief Scientist at MotiveMetrics.

They’ll offer an introduction to evolutionary psychology which attempts to explain useful mental and psychological traits—such as memory, perception, or language.

We also get a look into their shared experience of working together for Steven Pinker at Harvard University.

Why do people ask if you want to come in for drink at the end of a date, if they really mean would you like to have sex? -- We’ll get to the bottom of it in this episode.

Why do we blush if we get caught talking about someone? -- We don’t have the data, but we’ll discuss the Game Theory logic behind it.

What is Common Knowledge? Kyle will give us a lot of examples. He’ll also discuss paid search ads.

We even talk about Trump and the unknowns of the pandemic for a few minutes, because this episode was recorded in mid-2020.
