They Don’t Represent Us — Democracy as a Selection System (Deep Dive)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time. In this Deep Dive, we explore Lawrence Lessig’s They Don’t Represent Us as a systems-level diagnosis of why American democracy can become structurally unrepresentative — not because of one party or one politician, but because of the incentives and filters that decide who gets power in the first place. This episode examines how donor influence, nomination dynamics, and polarized media incentives can function as a “selection funnel” that rewards extremity, amplifies tribal perception, and weakens representation at scale. 🎬 Mini Explainer (short visual overview): 👉    • They Don’t Represent Us Explained — The Hi...   🎧 Audio-only (Spotify): 👉 https://open.spotify.com/episode/164b... 📝 Written companion (Substack): 👉 https://crisisinperception.substack.com https://open.substack.com/pub/crisisi... ❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon: 👉   / crisisinperception   https://www.patreon.com/posts/they-do...
