Out of Frequency
On resonance, algorithms, and misfit systems
Sometimes it feels futile to place precise, emotionally intelligent work into systems built for sameness. Algorithms reward familiarity, not resonance. My signal doesn’t match the noise of the world I’m moving through. Being “off” is only a flaw in environments that value speed, ease, and categorization. I can accept differences in taste. What I struggle with is effort and substance being ignored while shallowness thrives. That is the discouragement.
