Crisis in Perception · Mar 6, 2026 · 42m

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

This episode explores The Skeptics’ Guide to the Future by Dr. Steven Novella as a systems-level analysis of technological forecasting and the recurring fallacies that shape predictions about scientific progress.

By examining how institutions, media narratives, and cultural imagination influence futurism, the episode explains why societies consistently overestimate short-term technological change while underestimating long-term transformation.
