Survival of the Nicest — Why systems built on selfishness collapse

Crisis in Perception · May 4, 2026 · 43m

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

Author: Stefan Klein

This episode explores Survival of the Nicest by Stefan Klein as a systems-level analysis of how cooperative incentive structures influence behavior, trust, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual motives, the episode shows why cooperation persists — and how systems that misalign incentives destabilize themselves over time.
