Why are we letting algorithms rewrite the rules of art, work, and life?

"Given the chance, gamers will optimize out the fun" This is the same about real life when statistics apply to everything. This is why I decided to ignore any rule that anyone else would self impose or to others. You have to realize that the others are not living your life, you are. Who cares if you arent the best, the brightest, the wisest. Do what makes you happy. Be silly, be cringe, be angry, be sad. What matters is that you live a good life by your own standards. The world will dissapear when your conciousness will fade away, so why let numbers, humans, or ideas stand in your way from living the life you would have lived as a cave man, an artist, a farmer or whatever?

Comparaison is the thief of joy. So think less, and live more.

You can reason yourself into despair, or irrationally rise above it. What do you choose?
