The Corporation: Profit Above All Else — The Legal DNA of Corporate Power

The Corporation: Profit Above All Else — The Legal DNA of Corporate Power

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan as a systems-level analysis of corporate legal architecture and institutional incentives. The discussion examines how shareholder primacy, cost externalization, and political influence create persistent outcomes that cannot be fully explained through individual behavior alone. At a systems level, the focus shifts from morality to design. 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DY633NVAvgc ❤️ Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/corporation-all-160646564?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link If these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.

Viral Justice: The Biological Cost of Invisible Systems — Hidden Extraction

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores Viral Justice by Ruha Benjamin as a systems-level analysis of the biological extraction economy. The discussion examines how institutions convert social conditions into physiological outcomes, how surveillance and convenience systems rely on hidden forms of extraction, and why these patterns persist despite growing awareness. 📺 Watch on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/oewjAL3k3cc ❤️ Support on Patreon: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/viral-justice-of-160646202?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link If these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.

Captivating Technology — The New Jim Code and the Architecture of Algorithmic Control

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores Captivating Technology, edited by Ruha Benjamin, as a systems-level analysis of carceral technoscience. The discussion examines how institutions increasingly rely on data extraction, predictive systems, surveillance infrastructure, and algorithmic governance to manage populations. Viewed structurally, the deeper issue is not whether technology contains bias, but how historical inequalities become embedded within technical systems that appear objective. The analysis explores incentive structures, institutional persistence, feedback loops, hidden system dynamics, and the paradox of visibility that determines who becomes visible to surveillance and who remains invisible to design. 📺 Watch on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/R2wcGipjArM ❤️ Support on Patreon: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/captivating-new-160638394?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Author Support If these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.

Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence: Smart Borders, Invisible Control

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence as a systems-level analysis of the border-surveillance-industrial complex. The discussion examines how borders move beyond physical walls into biometric databases, visa algorithms, drones, smart city sensors, predictive policing tools, and private data infrastructures. Viewed structurally, smart borders are not simply technical upgrades. They are systems that can automate exclusion, expand enforcement, and make institutional violence harder to see. The discussion examines: · incentive structures · institutional persistence · feedback loops · hidden system dynamics · structural outcomes 📺 Watch on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/6g4sNRmEX_Q ❤️ Support on Patreon: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/resisting-and-of-160635898?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Author Support If these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
