Contact — The Systems That Decide What Counts as Truth
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Carl Sagan
This episode explores Contact by Carl Sagan as a systems-level analysis of how scientific, political, and religious institutions process uncertainty, evidence, and legitimacy.
By focusing on epistemological systems rather than personalities or spectacle, the episode examines why institutions often reject realities that fall outside their accepted frameworks — and how truth itself becomes structurally mediated through systems of validation.
