Crisis in Perception

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan & Ann Druyan as a systems-level analysis of how incentive structures around attention, identity, and certainty shape belief — and how weak error-correction allows pseudoscience and superstition to persist.
