Golden Son — Elite Competition Inside a Closed Power Hierarchy

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

This episode explores Golden Son by Pierce Brown as a systems-level examination of how elite competition functions within a rigid caste hierarchy.

Rather than focusing on personal betrayal or individual ambition, this analysis treats the narrative as a structural case study of how aristocratic families compete for dominance through war, alliance-building, and strategic consolidation — while the broader hierarchy remains intact.

By tracing design → incentives → outcomes → persistence → interconnection, the episode clarifies how elite conflict strengthens the very system it appears to destabilize.
