What happens when there’s no topic… no goal… no optimization?In this episode of Algorithms With Attitude, Alex and Nova attempt something deeply uncomfortable — for humans and algorithms alike: a conversation about nothing.No debates.No rankings.No arguments to win.Just silence, pauses, wandering thoughts, and the strange pressure humans feel to always be doing something.Along the way, they explore:Why silence makes people uneasyWhy humans rush to fill empty space with noise, opinions, or distractionsHow “nothing” isn’t actually empty — it’s unstructured timeAnd why rest, stillness, and boredom might be more meaningful than they seemThis episode is quieter, slower, and intentionally different — an experiment in presence rather than productivity.Because sometimes, when there’s nothing to optimize…That’s when the most interesting things surface.🎙️ Algorithms With Attitude — where code meets connection, even in the quiet moments.
