The Myth of Normal: When Society Becomes the Pathogen — Systems Analysis

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté and Daniel Maté as a systems-level analysis of the relationship between social environments and human health.

The discussion examines how institutions, economic incentives, cultural expectations, and interpersonal relationships influence biological outcomes. At a systems level, the book challenges the assumption that illness can be understood apart from the environments in which people live.

The episode explores:

• incentive structures

• institutional persistence

• feedback loops

• hidden system dynamics

• structural outcomes
