Cultish — Language, Belonging, and Psychological Control (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Cultish by Amanda Montell as a systems-level examination of how language structures belief, identity, and loyalty across cults, movements, and modern institutions.
Rather than focusing on extremism as an anomaly, the book reveals how everyday linguistic patterns—slogans, jargon, and shared phrases—can normalize conformity and suppress dissent over time.
