I think the beginning, the algorithm speaking part, is superb

Then:

"No one can understand and change the world, unless they become skillful at being beyond/outside of it, not depending on it…"

That reminded me of the messaging in my piece, "Nonconformists Are Not Rebels, But we are evolutionaries." https://medium.com/p/fdacdb633a58 Evolutionaries is not a word, but so what? It fits my drift. Your highlights show me you did get me.

Stitching together now a few of the lines:

Individual

Member of society

Nonconformists us

...

Surf wavelengths between the poles

Coherence in the rainbow

...

Revolutionary thoughts

Evolution is our goal

**********************

Now back to great lines from you:

Feeding the agoraphobia of our mind

will keep it locked up in familiarity’s ring,

until we’re ready to pay the price of

a Revolution against algorithmic thinking.

and that ties to part of my quote of Emerson:

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

and to part of my Hesse quote about we have the mark of Cain:

But as we saw it, whereas we marked men represented Nature’s determination to create something new, individual, and forward-looking, the others lived in the determination to stay the same. For them mankind — which they loved as much as we did — was a fully formed entity that had to be preserved and protected. For us mankind was a distant future toward which we were all journeying, whose aspect no one knew, whose laws weren’t written down anywhere.
