Crisis in Perception

Fooled by Randomness — When Luck Masquerades as Skill


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb as a systems-level analysis of how randomness, hidden risk, and survivorship bias 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.
