  • The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom — Domestication as a System
    Feb 11 2026

    Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
    This episode is also available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other major platforms.

    This episode explores The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz as a systems-level examination of how social domestication becomes internal enforcement — shaping belief, identity, and emotional regulation through self-talk, interpretation, and feedback loops.

    Rather than focusing on individual morality or personal solutions, this analysis traces how incentives, constraints, and self-policing mechanisms produce stable outcomes even when the experience is widely criticized or privately resisted.

  • Women, Race, & Class — Intersectionality as a System of Power
    Feb 11 2026

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

    This episode explores Women, Race, & Class by Angela Y. Davis as a systems-level examination of how race, gender, and class were historically constructed to operate together, shaping labor, power, and social movements.

    Rather than focusing on individual prejudice or moral intention, the analysis traces how incentives, constraints, and feedback loops produced durable inequalities that persisted even within reform and liberation movements.
