Thoughts on Max Hawkins’ TED Talk

Max Hawkins wanted to avoid being apart of a linear algorithm, so he constructed an application that picks a random location in your city along with an Uber driver that takes you to a place you don’t know. He found the experience exhilarating because he found himself going to places he would never imagine going. He also added many more random generators such as a youtube generator, schedule generator, diet generator, tattoo generator, Spotify generator, FaceBook events, etc. He let the computer decide where he lived at and he would live there for a time spend of approximately two to three months. Weirdly giving the machine complete control of his life was the most free and liberating he felt.
