Crisis in Perception · May 24, 2026 · 35m

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

This episode explores The Rare Metals War by Guillaume Pitron as a systems-level analysis of critical mineral dependency and the hidden extraction systems beneath the green economy.

The discussion examines:

· institutional persistence

· feedback loops

· hidden system dynamics

· structural outcomes

Rather than viewing renewable technology only through carbon emissions, the analysis shifts toward lifecycle extraction, ecological outsourcing, and geopolitical leverage.
