Crisis in Perception · Apr 13, 2026 · 40m

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

Author: Byung-Chul Han

This episode explores The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han as a systems-level analysis of how self-exploitative productivity culture influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

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