People trade their originality for optimization

Statistics replaced style

- Posting what the algorithm wants

- Making clothing that’s statistically proven by swiping trending designs

- Machine like athletic performances, flair & style handed in for statistic edges
This extends to personalities

Archetypes of clones

This is why memes about personalities are so accurate

Doomers, Finance bros, Insta thots, and many more pre packaged personality downloads
Nothing is spontaneous anymore

- Influencers script, research & plan what videos will go viral

- People plan what they’re going to say on dates

optimizing for better results

But when the balance of art & science leans too heavy to science

You get a planet of soulless drones
Too little optimization means no results & chaos

Too much optimization means good results

but being choked of self expression to make them happen

results then own you, making you repressed, the entire mechanism of self expression shut down & artificially distorted to optimize
Self expression is imperfect

It’s real, authentic, present

The world craves authenticity more than ever

Optimization does not need to be tossed aside. Just put in balance

Art & Science balanced
The authentic & spontaneous is now showing to outperform the calculated & optimized

What is calculated & optimized is predictable

- In sports that’s easy to defend

- In content & biz it means the competitor has no unique selling point & low life time value
