Crisis in Perception · Apr 23, 2026 · 48m

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

Author: Lars Brownworth

This episode explores The Normans: From Raiders to Kings by Lars Brownworth as a systems-level analysis of how adaptive state-building influences behavior, legitimacy, 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.
