Crisis in Perception · Apr 10, 2026 · 36m

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

Author: Wendy Brown

This episode explores Nihilistic Times: Thinking with Max Weber by Wendy Brown as a systems-level analysis of how modern knowledge 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.
