The Right to be Wrong | Our life is being digitized as I write these lines, when I stop to think on the next, before I wrote this blog and sure continues after. Everything we do is registered, mapped weighted and distributed. Even this post is checked by the googles of the world to index it and find if someone somewhere has a use for it, usually with some marketing tags attached.

When things are digitized they are converted to 'Ones' and 'Zeroes' there is no in between, it is black or white, yes or no - right or wrong.

I read an eye opening book called the undoing project by Michael Lewis (https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Undoing_Project_A_Friendship_That_Ch/xpJHDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover) that talks about the fact the humans are constantly making biased decisions when making choices, sounds simple until it comes to the doctor whom decides about your treatment or your financial advisor that suggests an investment and so forth. The human being is not meant to function in binary mode. It has mussels that need to adjust and trained, adapt and react and probably if you measure it none of our steps are the same even when running a marathon, so why would our decisions be? Even if we perform the same exact action time and again. I did not finish reading the book yet, but I can see where for the sake of precision and our 'own safety' - many decisions are going to be made for us by 'machines' that are going to be bias free and I ask - would this be right for the humans?

What would it make from us if we are left with either the decision if we wake up in the morning or else left to make the epic mistakes as everything in between will be done for us by the thousands of applications that are built to make our life easier, by providing means for better and more accurate decisions.

We end up being servants of the ones and the zeros of the world- unless we 'square' ourselves to fit the digital image of what we should do, we are taken the right to be wrong because we will not fit in the template of the communication pipe before it is taken to the other side being digitized, overly processed and land wrong and dry from any human substance that makes us the humans we are. We communicate by humans codes by animal instincts so when we try to convert our actions to digital we grow the miscommunications - being parked on the wrong side. Literally wrong . . .
