Why Life Feels Harder in the Algorithm Era

Part of the Systems We Live Inside series

This short episode explores why the pressure so many people feel today isn’t about poor time management, but about living inside systems that constantly demand attention, decisions, and self-regulation.

If you’re an overwhelmed knowledge worker feeling drained by invisible systems, shifting expectations, and constant mental load, this conversation names what’s happening beneath the surface. We look at how algorithms, optimization culture, and control logic have reshaped work, health, and daily life — and why clarity feels harder to access than it used to.

This isn’t about fixing your routine.

It’s about understanding why everything feels heavier.

If this episode left you needing a quiet moment to pause and reset, The Clarity Vault is a short, voice-led audio space you can return to anytime.
