The modern world that we’ve created is driven by algorithms. Every human is numbered at birth, every car has a unique VIN number, and this podcast is blasted out from a particular IP address. Somehow we know the exact number of hippos in existence. Everything is a number and it’s all in the algorithm. So how can corporations claim to offer individualized plans? How can a corporation claim that my shining personality directly affects the value of my car insurance? How does the cost of my medical procedures change depending on whether I’m a Capricorn or a juggler? Why is my cellphone provider crafting a magical data package based on my dreamcatcher vibrations? If I have the normal set of human needs, are the corporations really trying to get to know me? Do corporations keep my childhood drawings on their refrigerators? Or am I a statistic on their spreadsheet? Take Mat and Veronique’s unique mindfulness test to customize your personal Grumble, now!

*Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble.
