  • Deformation - Permanent Set: Learning to Live With the Shape Stress Leaves Behind

    Deformation - Permanent Set: Learning to Live With the Shape Stress Leaves Behind
    Apr 16 2026
    Host Felix Mercer explores how materials science reveals truths about human resilience. Through plastic deformation and permanent set, he examines how extreme stress reshapes people, institutions, and cultures. Using stress-strain curves and metallurgical concepts, the episode reframes transformation as irreversible change that becomes the foundation for what comes next.

  • Deformation - Yield Point: The Invisible Line Between Recovery and Ruin

    Deformation - Yield Point: The Invisible Line Between Recovery and Ruin
    Apr 16 2026
    Felix Mercer explores the yield point—where materials permanently deform under stress—and reveals how this physics concept illuminates breaking points in organizations, relationships, and ourselves. Discover why resilience isn't about enduring damage, but recovering completely, and learn to recognize invisible thresholds before crossing them. Your stress-strain curve is being written right now.
