Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.Author: Thomas NagelThis episode explores What Is It Like to Be a Bat? by Thomas Nagel as a systems-level analysis of how scientific objectivity influences belief, behavior, and institutional definitions of reality.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why subjective experience remains structurally excluded — and how this connects to broader epistemological systems.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/sMkLBGXsN3g❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-is-it-like-157316401?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.
