Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase, if nothing else, has brought to light the concept of Algorithms. If you’re in the social media business knowledge of the “algorithms” of your target audience are a must for successful connections to the mindset of the purchasing public.
The word algorithms is new age but the concept behind the word is as old as the hills. Basically defined an algorithm is the result of specific date collection in the calculation of possible results. On the human level, algorithms are the collection of emotions, desires and sensations all mammals (and birds) use to make decisions that affect their future: where to live, friends to hang with, who to marry, what to wear, career(s) to choose, what to study, genre of entertainment—the list is endless.
Said another way, algorithms are the emotions, sensations and desires a mammal (humans are mammals) uses in the “calculation of probabilities” to experience success when choosing a mate, a friend, where to live, a career, buying a product, what outfit to wear, where to go out to eat and so forth.
If this? →than that. That simple!
Originally, the word algorithm was used when building computer programs. For example, traffic lights use the data of traffic flow (an algorithm) to establish the length of time a traffic light displays red and green for maximum traffic flow. Remember when you first learned to tie your shoes? You mind created an algorithm, an order of the process needed to successfully tie the laces on your shoes. Algorithms are obviously good things right? You decide! Do the sensations, desires and emotions YOU express (as a result of the data you have collected so far in your lifetime) form the truth of who you are? Is what makes your mouth water (a sensation) causing you to make good eating decisions? Is what disgusts (emotion) you actually your thought or some culture remnant from your upbringing? Is your libido (desire) algorithmically getting you into trouble?
A recipe is a simple algorithm. If you change a recipe’s ingredients, you alter the recipe. Since each human being is a finely tuned algorithm that works thru a combination of sensations, emotions and desires (thoughts), known as biochemical algorithms, doesn’t it stand to reason that if one consciously decides to change their attachment to a sensation such as anger, an emotion such as fear or a desire such as a passion for the fast lane that different probabilities of outcomes are possible? If algorithms trigger results and one is not happy with the results, why not change the algorithms?
Ok. I said that the definition of algorithms would be simple. Conscious change can be simple too! Change the ingredients that makes you do what you do that you don’t really don’t want to do. Change is the only constant on the planet.
The process or set of rules one unconsciously follows in problem solving or daily life decisions are the algorithms one lives by. Change the algorithms, the rules or choices one makes and watch life outcomes change.
Simple as that!
Affirmation: I change one sensation, emotion or desire today to algorithmically change my life for the better to stay in line with the truth of who I really am!
