The Great Refusal: How Modern Systems Absorb Dissent


Listen Later

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

This episode explores The Great Refusal: Herbert Marcuse and Contemporary Social Movements as a systems-level analysis of how modern institutions stabilize themselves by integrating dissent, shaping desire, and narrowing political imagination.

The discussion examines:

  • incentive structures
  • institutional persistence
  • feedback loops
  • technological rationality
  • commodified rebellion
  • structural outcomes
