SYNOPSIS
Subtle Downtempo No
Systems are created to make things understandable and
repeatable at scale. In aiming for reliability, simplicity and
interconnectedness, certain data is averaged or treated
as negligible. Being excluded from a system, whether by
intention of the system’s designers, or unintentionally, as a
result of being different or unexpected (an outlier), can have
consequences ranging from not being able to find a shirt that
fits properly, to isolation, or even death.
We all know how it feels to be the point on a graph that just
won’t, or can’t, sit on curve.
