Crisis in Perception

Rise of the Zombie Bugs — Evolution’s Mind-Control Parasites


Listen Later

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

This episode explores Rise of the Zombie Bugs by Mindy Weisberger as a systems-level analysis of parasitic mind control in the natural world.

Certain parasites have evolved the ability to manipulate the behavior of their hosts—compelling insects and other animals to act in ways that increase the parasite’s chances of survival and reproduction.

The episode examines the evolutionary incentives behind these strange biological interactions and how ecological systems shape behavior in ways that are often invisible to human observers.
