Crisis in Perception · May 21, 2026 · 43m

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

Author: Terry Tamminen

This episode explores Lives Per Gallon by Terry Tamminen as a systems-level analysis of how petroleum infrastructure influences behavior, public health, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than isolated consumer behavior, the episode shows how transportation systems, subsidies, land use patterns, and industrial lobbying collectively reinforced long-term oil dependence.
