The Rocks Don’t Lie: Flood Myths, Deep Time, and Systems of Truth

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores The Rocks Don’t Lie by David R. Montgomery as a systems-level analysis of epistemological systems and institutional belief formation.The discussion examines:· incentive structures· institutional persistence· geological evidence and deep time· flood myths as cultural memory· scientific paradigm conflict· structural responses to contradictory evidenceRather than framing the issue as a simple battle between science and religion, this analysis examines how both systems evolved from the same attempt to understand reality — and how they diverged when physical evidence began challenging inherited narratives.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/LLhbmRPAa14❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/rocks-dont-lie-159488615?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.
