Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores Mental Immunity: The Science of Cognitive Immunology by Andy Norman as a systems-level analysis of how epistemic norms, conversational incentives, and institutional design influence belief formation and the spread of ideas.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual ignorance, the episode shows why destructive ideologies persist — and how strengthening norms of inquiry can reshape the broader cognitive ecosystem.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/bnPZYADfR1k❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/mental-immunity-151489430?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.
