Crisis in Perception

Thinking in Systems and Mental Models: Why We Misdiagnose Reality β€” Hidden Feedback Loops


Listen Later

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

This episode explores Thinking in Systems and Mental Models by Marcus P. Dawson as a systems-level analysis of cognitive systems, perception, and decision-making.

The discussion examines how mental models shape what people notice, what they ignore, and why complex problems are often approached through symptom management rather than root-cause analysis.

Topics include feedback loops, systemic delays, perceptual filtering, cognitive biases, second-order thinking, and the structural limitations of human perception.
