- We’re moving toward a monotonous and monolithic culture driven by algorithms. **What we watch, listen to, and otherwise consume is becoming increasingly optimized for data tracking and recommendations, which means that the media being produced and promoted falls back on what’s been algorithmically successful in the past**. - There are two concerns about monoculture: (1) **the streaming era has fragmented us** into different subcultures, removing our ability to connect with each other over media, and (2) **hyper-optimization is driving cultural artifacts to become increasingly similar**. - [[{3.1b} how algorithmic monoculture creates fragmentation]] - [[{3.1c} how algorithmic monoculture creates homogenization]] - **True introspection, prioritizing the slow-burn of art, and looking toward *[[digital permaculture]]* will help us resist algorithmic monoculture.** - [[2024-06-24]] — Connect [[digital permaculture]] to [[identity management]]… If we’re building *habitats* that form our identity *ecosystem*, the digital element of that might be considered digital permaculture… The same [[{2.2a2} linking, annotating, changing, summarizing, copying, and sharing are the verbs of gardening|verbs of gardening]]? If permaculture is more of a philosophy, maybe that’s the *answer* to gardening?? Working with your own nature… Flexibility, iteration, incorporating as much of your world as possible to create a sustainable habitat. - [[2024-06-25]] — OMG, just read Tiago Forte’s newsletter and Marie and Ben are giving a talk on *digital permaculture* at the Second Brain Summit! How hilarious! Definitely not in my budget, but makes me feel like I’m on the right track :) - [[2024-09-07]] — Despite the algorithmic monoculture of distilled internet content, [[there is no singular experience of the internet]].
