Beyond Our Algorithm

If Algorithm supports social media to tell us what we want, Does it actually help us to get what we really need to know?!

If all the books that I read are just echoes of each other, if all the people that I become friends with are just equally like me, If I am only hearing voices that are a simple repplicle of my own voice, There is something wrong with my approach!

Algorithm surrounds us with sameness! It turns us around an endless pattern of interests and behaviors that resembles the quality of our own features. A series of familiarity! We tend to stay on our own islands and we don’t realize how much we spend on those islands. We are chained to our own thoughts and ideas.

On the stand of Information, You are either one of four passengers:

Know what you know: That’s the obvious one

Know that you don’t know: Awareness can be fine in general

Don’t know that you know: Until you stumble upon what can require what you know, you’ll find it.

Don’t know that you don’t know: ??!!!

That’s the complicated one, isn’t it?!

How come we escape it? To go Beyond what we know! Stand across the other side!

How can we climb the world and not to confuse the little information that we get from our echo chambers with the entire reality? How can we read life in a more pluralistic way?

Here are some tips for you:

1. Read for authors you disagree with their thoughts.

2. Read in what have always been without definition for you, yet still left behind! 

3. Try what your friend has told you about but you didn’t have time to try or figure out how it works. 

4. Talk to a friend about what is his favorite blogs, pages or youtubers.

5. Read for other religions and nationalities, that will help to give you a better idea about conflict perspectives, you may figure out that your common background can sometimes be misleading and your personal experience can’t be applied on the whole image.

6. You may also want to Read for Multi contradictory writers, in that way you will figure out how the story changes depending upon who tells it.

7. Dig in subjects you never dared to confront

8. Stand upon the Forbidden issues

9. Give another try for that you never believed in

10. Dive into new multi-lateral issues, It enriches your view of the world

11. Click on another YouTube video instead of that one you would already be familiar with its ingredient or anticipating its substance.

12. Watch movies translated from a faraway culture than yours, Turkish, Indian, Iranian, Brazilian…etc.  

13. Try Chinese food, Indian recipe, Arabian Ingredients, Mexican flavor and the Turkish taste!

14. Write down all the things that crossed your mind now and find out more!

Those are some ideas I have come up with myself but of course there are many others, I’m a big believer in the truth that, in this world, if we’re going to learn anything, we will learn it from people who are different from us. All you have to do is To Go out of your bubble, Discover what is hidden behind your world, Explore the outer settings and Go Beyond!
