Seeing the Algorithm

Seeing the Algorithm

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2567248/open_sms] In this episode, I step back and slow things down. I talk about what an “algorithm” really is, not as technology, but as a pattern. A set of rules that decides what happens next. Long before computers, algorithms shaped families, religions, economies, and entire societies. Many of them still do.  This isn’t an episode about answers or solutions. It’s about recognition. This episode is an invitation to notice and stay with the questions a little bit longer.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2567248/support] Changing the Algorithm- Seeing the code beneath the story.

Women in the Algorithm 2- A Deep Dive

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2567248/open_sms] In this second episode of Changing the Algorithm, Luda examines how women have been shaped, constrained, and conditioned by systems of power from ancient history to the digital present. Tracing a through-line from early belief systems, sacred texts, and cultural norms to modern algorithms, influencer culture, and social media, this episode explores how control adapts over time — changing its language and aesthetics while preserving its function. From the policing of women’s bodies and roles in history to the rise of tradwife culture, beauty algorithms, and the early sexualization of girls online, this conversation asks how old codes resurface in new forms — and what it means to recognize them while we’re living inside them. This episode is not an indictment of faith, tradition, or womanhood. It is an invitation to see patterns clearly, question inherited narratives, and begin reclaiming authorship over our own lives.

Women, the Algorithm, and Systems of Control

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2567248/open_sms] In this opening episode of Changing the Algorithm, Luda examines how contemporary online culture reshapes old systems of gendered power through aesthetics, ideology, and digital reinforcement. From pick-me culture and tradwife influencer narratives to the rise of online male grievance movements and “high-value” rhetoric, this conversation explores how insecurity, entitlement, and control are repackaged as lifestyle, morality, or personal choice and then amplified by modern algorithms. Rather than framing these trends as isolated or accidental, the episode traces how they emerge from long-standing social patterns and why they thrive in today’s  attention economy, where conformity is rewarded and questioning is quietly discouraged.  The episode is not about attacking individuals. It’s about recognizing systems and how they recruit, normalize, and sustain themselves and what it means to see the pattern while living inside of it.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2567248/support] Changing the Algorithm- Seeing the code beneath the story.
