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

Author: Will Storr

This episode explores The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr as a systems-level analysis of how narrative cognition influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why narrative-driven perception persists — and how it connects to broader psychological, cultural, and social coordination systems.
