Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA by Annie Jacobsen as a systems-level analysis of how military research institutions shape innovation, strategic power, and the long-term technological environment.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than isolated inventions, the episode shows why DARPA persists as a powerful node linking secrecy, scientific ambition, and the permanent fear of strategic surprise.
