They Don’t Represent Us — Democracy as a Selection System (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Lawrence Lessig’s They Don’t Represent Us as a systems-level diagnosis of unrepresentative democracy—how donor influence, nomination dynamics, and attention-driven media can function as selection filters that shape who gets power and what the public comes to believe.
