What if human beings have algorithms of their own? In this Thursday Night Sermon from Eye Opener Society, Gary Dean explores the fascinating connection between technology, human behavior, relationships, consciousness, and personal awareness. Social media algorithms learn from our behavior, studying what captures our attention and what keeps us engaged. But as human beings, we also develop patterns based on our experiences, beliefs, fears, expectations, relationships, and the way we interpret the world around us. Over time, those patterns can become automatic. We may begin reacting to people based not on who they actually are, but on what our personal experiences have taught us to expect. We can develop assumptions about others, repeat relationship patterns, seek information that confirms what we already believe, and respond emotionally before we ever stop to question why.

Are you seeing what is really there, or are you automatically filtering the wor…
