Crisis in Perception

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

This episode explores The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan as a systems-level analysis of corporate legal architecture and institutional incentives.

The discussion examines how shareholder primacy, cost externalization, and political influence create persistent outcomes that cannot be fully explained through individual behavior alone. At a systems level, the focus shifts from morality to design.

This episode explores Captivating Technology, edited by Ruha Benjamin, as a systems-level analysis of carceral technoscience.

The discussion examines how institutions increasingly rely on data extraction, predictive systems, surveillance infrastructure, and algorithmic governance to manage populations. Viewed structurally, the deeper issue is not whether technology contains bias, but how historical inequalities become embedded within technical systems that appear objective.

The analysis explores incentive structures, institutional persistence, feedback loops, hidden system dynamics, and the paradox of visibility that determines who becomes visible to surveillance and who remains invisible to design.

This episode explores Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence as a systems-level analysis of the border-surveillance-industrial complex.

The discussion examines how borders move beyond physical walls into biometric databases, visa algorithms, drones, smart city sensors, predictive policing tools, and private data infrastructures. Viewed structurally, smart borders are not simply technical upgrades. They are systems that can automate exclusion, expand enforcement, and make institutional violence harder to see.

· incentive structures

· institutional persistence

· feedback loops

This episode explores The Internationalists by Alexander Ward as a systems-level analysis of American foreign policy after globalization.

The discussion examines how domestic economic stability, democratic legitimacy, alliance coordination, industrial policy, and great-power competition now function as one connected system. Afghanistan, Ukraine, China, and the idea of a “foreign policy for the middle class” become entry points into a larger question: what happens when national security can no longer be separated from the economic life of ordinary citizens?
