  • How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking — Why Winners Mislead Us

    Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

    Author: Jordan Ellenberg

    This episode explores How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg as a systems-level analysis of how hidden probabilities, missing data, and incentives influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

    By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.

About Crisis in Perception

From the publisher's feed

Crisis in Perception is a long-form educational podcast examining how we misunderstand the world around us. Using books as entry points, each episode explores history, psychology, economics, science, and power structures to reveal how systems actually work—and why our perceptions so often fail. Clear, evidence-based, and non-tribal.
