If capitalism influences not only markets but imagination itself, what happens to our ability to envision alternatives?

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

Using *The Fisher-Function* and the ideas of Mark Fisher as our lens, this Deep Dive investigates the political economy of desire and the hidden systems connecting consumer culture, technology, institutions, and collective imagination. Rather than treating capitalism solely as an economic model, the episode explores how incentives, feedback loops, and cultural narratives shape what societies come to view as normal, inevitable, and possible.

Topics explored include capitalist realism, consumer identity, mental health as a structural phenomenon, technological development, and systems thinking.
