How the World Really Works: A Scientist’s Guide to Our Past, Present and Future — The Industrial Energy System
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores How the World Really Works: A Scientist’s Guide to Our Past, Present and Future by Vaclav Smil as a systems-level analysis of how the industrial-energy system influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why fossil-dependent material systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, geopolitical, and ecological structures.
