Crisis in Perception · May 3, 2026 · 31m

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

Author: Anil Seth

This episode explores Being You by Anil Seth as a systems-level analysis of how predictive biology influences perception, identity, and conscious experience.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than philosophical abstraction, the episode shows why perception operates as a survival mechanism — and how this system connects to broader biological and cognitive structures.
