Linearization - The Catastrophe of Straight-Line Thinking
Felix Mercer explores how linear models can catastrophically mislead when applied to curved realities like stock markets, manufacturing costs, and population growth. He reveals how our brain's bias toward straight-line thinking creates disasters when we forget approximations have limits. Loved this episode?

Linearization - The Tangent Line Bargain
Felix Mercer explores the tangent line bargain in calculus—how linearization replaces complex curves with simple lines near a point. Through examples like square root functions and sine approximations, he reveals why this shortcut works locally but fails when stretched too far, exposing curvature's inevitable revenge.
