Thinking in Systems and Mental Models: Why We Misdiagnose Reality — Hidden Feedback Loops

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores Thinking in Systems and Mental Models by Marcus P. Dawson as a systems-level analysis of cognitive systems, perception, and decision-making.The discussion examines how mental models shape what people notice, what they ignore, and why complex problems are often approached through symptom management rather than root-cause analysis.Topics include feedback loops, systemic delays, perceptual filtering, cognitive biases, second-order thinking, and the structural limitations of human perception.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/9VT_j_nSOig❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/thinking-in-and-159798052?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.
