Crisis in Perception · Apr 10, 2026 · 52m

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

Author: Mary Roach

This episode explores Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach as a systems-level analysis of how cadavers influence medicine, safety systems, and institutional knowledge.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, legal, psychological, and cultural structures.
