What Is It Like to Be a Bat? — Why objectivity cannot capture consciousness

Crisis in Perception · May 4, 2026 · 37m

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

Author: Thomas Nagel

This episode explores What Is It Like to Be a Bat? by Thomas Nagel as a systems-level analysis of how scientific objectivity influences belief, behavior, and institutional definitions of reality.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why subjective experience remains structurally excluded — and how this connects to broader epistemological systems.
