Crisis in Perception

Shape — The Hidden Geometry Behind Power, AI, and Prediction


Listen Later

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

Author: Jordan Ellenberg

This episode explores Shape by Jordan Ellenberg as a systems-level analysis of how geometry influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why systems of democracy, artificial intelligence, epidemiology, and information persist — and how they connect to larger political, technological, biological, and cultural structures.
