The World Until Yesterday — Scale, Risk, and Modern Life (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The World Until Yesterday by Jared Diamond as a systems-level analysis of how traditional societies managed risk, conflict, and cooperation — and how modern institutions transformed those dynamics.
By focusing on scale rather than morality, the book explains why modern life often feels safer, yet more fragile, and how institutional protection reshapes everyday behavior in ways we rarely notice.
