A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space? — Why Mars Colonization May Be a System Failure

Crisis in Perception · Mar 20, 2026 · 1h 4m

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

This episode explores A City on Mars by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith as a systems-level analysis of how space settlement systems influence 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.
