In My Own Way — Why the Self May Be a Social System
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Alan Watts
This episode explores In My Own Way by Alan Watts as a systems-level analysis of how language, abstraction, and institutional structures influence perception, identity, and behavior.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated experiences, the episode examines how modern systems reinforce the sensation of separation between self and world — and why these structures persist across economics, religion, media, and industrial society.
