FRAMEWORK

The FRAMEWORK.

Now that you are aware of the algorithm and how it is trying to influence and change who you are, it is time to fight back. Just being aware or even educated of the issue is not enough. The algorithm will seek to kill your creative self in order to mold you into a commodity that it can sell and sell to. Using this framework will help you soft reset your life. By understanding not only who you are truly, but also how the algorithm is subtly influencing you without you even realizing it. Walk through these three steps to reset each day.

You can follow along with the shapes to help remind you how to reset into the individual you are rather than the cog the algorithm wants you to be.

How To

You are in complete control of your influences. You get to pick what you think of yourself, choose who you spend time with, and determine what you believe in. Examine each layer of your perceived self and analyze what is controlling the influence in each layer. Is it social media telling you where to vacation? Your music service telling you what band to listen to next? Or maybe your favorite YouTuber telling you what minimalist design trend to chase? Identify what is controlling you so that you can control your life.

After determining what is controlling you, you have the ability to alter that controlling relationship. It is not about getting rid of any interaction with algorithms, but instead to alter how we let those algorithms make choices for us. Maybe it is turning off the suggested playlist on our music streaming service or talking to friends instead of listening to influencers for what design trends to chase. Don’t abandon, instead alter.
