The Intelligence Trap — Why Smart People Rationalize Bad Ideas
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The Intelligence Trap by David Robson as a systems-level analysis of how cognitive systems and institutional incentives influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
