Blindness — Perception, Power, and the Fragility of Civilization (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode analyzes Blindness by José Saramago as a systems experiment in social breakdown. By focusing on perception as infrastructure, the discussion shows why rules fail without shared orientation—and why ethical responsibility becomes both heavier and rarer in crisis.
