The Assassins' Gate: The System That Stopped Seeing Reality

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

This Mini Explainer examines The Assassins' Gate by George Packer through the lens of information systems and institutional decision-making.

What begins as a discussion of the Iraq War becomes a broader examination of how organizations process evidence, reward agreement, and sometimes lose the ability to accurately perceive the environments they are attempting to control.

Viewed structurally, the book reveals how feedback loops, bureaucratic incentives, and ideological certainty can combine to create blind spots with enormous real-world consequences.
