Brainstorming
If we are constantly being pushed media (Pandora) based on our existing preferences, we may never discover new preferences. If I’m consuming every album that reminds Pandora, Apple Music, or Spotify of “Donda”, I may never hear Beethoven’s Fifth.

Design Thinking
Ideate
I developed my idea for eliminating follower metrics on social media accounts by observing a widely accepted practice in individual digital discourse and questioning its prudence on a species level.
Prototype
By observing a species-level problem, I was able to develop potential solutions at the individual level--based on the assumption that our collective problems indeed manifest (as fractals) in the individual.
Define
In engaging in species-level problem-solving, I tried to consider my own experiences/strengths that might yield meaningful insight.
I was able to leverage prior research on overpopulation and limits to growth from an old rabbit-hole. I used this as a jumping-off point for creative thought and problem-solving.
Test
Sadly, I've only been able to test my pedagogy on myself: I have no means for gauging it's efficacy in others or for the collective at large. One of the dangers of species-level social engineering is that iterative processes can lead to absolute disaster. Trial and error carries the risk of, well, error.
Empathize
In designing a rhetorical digital piece for Unit 3, I started by considering my audience: How do people usually get information these days? What creative methodology would best facilitate the transfer of information to my audience?
