(#133) Systems Thinking From Bias to Physics
Most engineering mistakes are not technical. They are cognitive.
In this episode, we break down how bias shapes engineering decisions and how systems thinking forces a shift back to physics, constraints, and real behavior. This is about moving from assumption driven design to reality driven systems.
We expose the hidden layer most engineers ignore. Before the math, before the models, there is framing. And bad framing leads to bad systems.
This episode maps the pattern:
jumping to solutions before defining the system
optimizing parts instead of the whole
ignoring constraints until they break…
