Crisis in Perception

Sacred Cows: Protected Beliefs — and the Systems That Keep Them Alive


Listen Later

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


This episode explores Sacred Cows by Seth Andrews, illustrated by Vincent Deporter, as a systems-level analysis of protected belief, irrational tradition, and the incentives that keep questionable ideas alive.


The discussion examines:

· cognitive pattern recognition

· subjective validation

· ritual and group identity

· grief, fear, and the market for certainty

· feedback loops that protect belief from scrutiny
