Have you noticed it?
Phones look alike. Websites feel familiar. Cafés in Berlin, Seoul and New York somehow share the same aesthetic. Companies use the same management systems, chase the same metrics and increasingly arrive at the same answers.

Because when millions of decisions are continuously tested, measured and optimized, something unexpected happens: the weird alternatives slowly disappear.
And it doesn't stop with products. The same forces may be standardizing companies, cities, culture—and even the way we think.
So what happens when everyone discovers the same "best" answer?
And perhaps more importantly: what do we lose when we optimize away the weird?
