We living beings learn not only with the intellect but also with the heart and the soul. Each of us has to feel new ideas through our own quirky associations.
That's why this blog is not above putting things in a pop-culture context and taking some pretty lol angles on the otherwise very complex subjects it deals with.
A guide is to a blog what a quiz is to a party. A cool enough way to ease into things. So let's go ahead and start by feeling it in our bodies and souls with this easy-to-follow guide to non-algorithmic lifestylemaxxing.
{ 1 } Relaxed punctuation
resist the temptation of correct punctuation it simply comes across as more credible here in 2026 to just dump a non-commaed stream of consciousness into your recipient's eyes
Your favorite language model is configured to write and punctuate according to the current guidelines handed down from on high {the Danish Language Council and the like}, while we humans barely follow them.
Therefore: Write a little sloppily if you want to be taken seriously as a living being and not mistaken for an AI.

{ 2 } Wrong Shoe Theory
A styling concept devised by fashion influencer Allison Bornstein, all about surprising yourself and your fellow humans with your choice of shoes.
That way you show not only that you know the rules {the algorithm}, but also that you have the agency and the taste it takes to break them.
It's almost as if part of what we consider aesthetic is that an algorithm couldn't have come up with it. Almost as if free will is sexy? Hmmm, interesting.
{ 3 } Exercise free will
Guess it goes without saying, but here's a little inspiration.
{ a } ”The thing has a button.”
{ b } Free will maxxing, excellent use of free will
{ 4 } Break everything down to First Principles
Full circle: This tip was actually founded by the same types who founded AI. Yes, I'm talking about Tech Bros. Thinking from first principles really just means thinking critically and rigorously, but trust me it will often lead you to take a stand {see tip { 6 }}.
{ 5 } Be religious or spiritual
Optional tip, but definitely algorithm-free territory.
{ 6 } Have opinions
Close your eyes and feel a certain connection with your emotions and a certain control over your thoughts. Put other people's expectations of you out of your head, to a certain extent.
Think of a question that feels important. Feel your way to what you actually think about it. Say this opinion out loud to yourself, speak it to your inner ear, or manifest it in some other way.
Feel how you yourself chose both { 1 } the question and { 2 } the opinion. Know, too, that at any time you have the option to change { 1 } your sense of how important the question is as well as { 2 } the opinion itself.
{ 7 } Be a hypocrite
