Crisis in Perception

Don’t Look Up — Why Smart Societies Still Fail Obvious Threats


Listen Later

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

Author: Film written and directed by Adam McKay

This episode explores Don’t Look Up as a systems-level analysis of how media logic, political incentives, and corporate power influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

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