Don’t Look Up — Why Systems Ignore Reality Until It’s Too Late
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Film written and directed by Adam McKay
This episode explores Don’t Look Up as a systems-level analysis of how media systems, political incentives, and corporate power shape belief and behavior.
Drawing from Don’t Look Up: A Metaphor for Western Civilization and foundational works on media and perception, the episode shows how structural incentives can override clear evidence — producing delay, fragmentation, and coordinated failure.
