  • A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence — How the Neocortex Builds Predictive Reality

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

    This episode explores A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins as a systems-level analysis of how the neocortex’s distributed architecture shapes perception, learning, and intelligence.

    By focusing on incentive architecture within neural systems — prediction, feedback, and error correction — the episode shows how intelligence emerges from thousands of cortical models interacting in parallel.

  • Gangsters of Capitalism — How Wall Street and the Military Built an American Empire

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

    This episode explores Gangsters of Capitalism by Jonathan M. Katz as a systems-level examination of how American imperial finance and military power shape perception, belief, and institutional outcomes.

    Rather than isolating individual behavior or surface-level controversy, this analysis treats the work as a diagnostic of structural design — revealing how incentives, constraints, and feedback loops generate durable patterns that persist even when widely criticized.

    By tracing design → incentives → outcomes → persistence → interconnection, the episode clarifies how this system operates as part of a larger institutional network.
