Algorithm an interesting concept indeed!
By definition, algorithm is a sequence of step-by-step procedures that would lead to an end-state.
Algorithm was derived from that Latin word algoritmi which surprisingly was the translation of the famous astronomer and mathematician Al Kharizmi.
Nowadays, an algorithm is basically an instance of logic in software coding written by developers to reach the intended "target".
But in human behavior it is far beyond than just a step-by-step procedure, but rather a clear perspective on how everything is connected to everything. Therefore, Can we really speak of people with algorithm input in their lives?
Demographically speaking scientists tried to analyze the human movements in terms of immigration through a mathematical approach. If we were to talk about the global Diaspora we would always predict that at any given time human movements were the result of our ancestors will to unearth the “ new world”, well being, survival in addition to socio-cultural, political, economic and health reasons.
Human algorithm
We are all familiar with predications, assumptions and expectations- from expecting love, justice and respect- which most of the times lead more and more people to disappointments, frustration, insecurity and doubt in terms of human relations. Seriously, how many times have you expected, assumed and predicted and then failed because simply that’s the beauty of human mind, will and courage. In my experience, it is not out of disappointment but rather for the sake of privacy, right, space, diversity and selfishness.
Will scientist discover one day that humans have some type of algorithm in their DNA that would help future generations do more predicting, assuming and expecting through a synchronized sequence of logic that would lead to the “human end-state”
Can you “algorithm” humans?
