A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams — Why Modern Spaces Feel Wrong

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores A Place of My Own by Michael Pollan as a systems-level analysis of how architecture functions as a biological and cultural system shaping perception and behavior.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual design choices, the episode shows why modern environments often feel misaligned — and how this reflects deeper structural shifts toward abstraction and mediated experience.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/9HXuzfqgbUk❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/place-of-my-own-154014284?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
