Metrics is a way of doing things and measuring mostly by numbers.
This is a root problem when everything is motivated or judged or measured in numbers (Matrix has a similar meaning of mathematical numbers in boxes, grids or rows and column). This in itself is an numerical ENCLOSURE.

Here's some more on that related to the film, but the above is the cold reality that humans judged or valued by numbers is one of the first deadly mistakes and all goes downhill after that...

SO WHY METRICS?
AND WHY MATRIX (MATHS OR THE FILM) ?

1- Well we became as deadly or as inhuman as the agents, working in the modern day for numbers that are never satisfied and judged / fudged by other people higher up the food chain (living off those lower down).
You might not see it but it's the same old with the new old.

In the eliminating human things is what we do by deal with #numbers mainly... how we approach life and ignore the non-numerical #attributes (human being's feelings, needs, wants) and treat them like what? Maybe robots?

Some simplified counting of the world is simply not how simple it is and those that force these templates (all governments) they know it and set up shop.

The number on our head is judged by the profit % - otherwise no government really cares and would leave you for dead like they did before or just kill you if you didn't want to work for them or give taxes (they had batons and people back then too).

It is a trick of maths on humans to think only number and money is going to do it for people - actually it's oppression by those that use it because it is working well for them in certain ways and cuts out the other caring sharing planetary stuff. All of that is incompatible / disrespectful to dominating your culture or taking over the planet as many empires still are trying to do through government companies more than visibly killing.

Numbers are a downgraded representation of a human. Totally and fundamentally disrespectful and taking away their inherit individuality.

Numbers try to standardise and bring what has too many too many variations of 1 or many persons valuation and feelings at any given time.

Numbers (and their controllers which are theiving humans don't forget) expect people to swim or die, not matter if some cannot do maths or hate it because of those political behind it and pushing innocent passive aggressive numbers.
An ultimatum to participate in the program or face avenues of jail (another good business if not laws, courts etc etc).

Almost everything is calculated to know where things fall and be caught or put in it's place by the system by paying people to do it's profit making work. This is not a humanitarian affair.

Individuality is sacred as are many things and putting a number on it is itself a big mistake or the gravest mistake.

Standardisation and fitting in tight boxes a type of death people are forced or coerced into (also parents are clueless).

--------------------------------

2- And then on top of that (compound damage) is that previous generations tried to turbo the #matrix using #metrics for calculating for #mechanical lifestyles which further distanced our own cousins and mother nature like a habitat to an animal being cut off and a false numerical one put in its place.
Just look at a city - nothing growing just crazy minecraft type over-building... it's gone too far.

Even considering if people like concrete block, it's not for everyone and nature is running out and being buried underneath.

I'm assuming people like nature a bit more than concrete since that is where food, material, relaxation and many things comes from.
Rather than the reverse EVERYTHING being concreted and imprted blocks from China or wherever far away burning up fuel to get here.

All is related and has a pay back unless we slow it down and stop it.

Related to food or everything else is this peace of mind - the work is not peaceful now, not towards sharing... agents are everywhere and they too feel they need to stay alive, by securing / killing people.

SUMMARY
Respect is not a number always and is variable - people can be happy in poor conditions but not in rich ones.

Valuing things are illegitimately trying to convert people into numbers - ecological systems do not work solely on this basis and have those other unnumbered attributes which are needed and relative to them and to everyone also.
These are almost dismissed / avoided / dis-counted and
non-existent in most equations and therefore our habitat and our selves are devalued.

We have so many LIVING functions to many to measure and not even worth doing (it's for living not always measuring)

Life should be sacred - not just maths at the hands of abusers, leader, liers, politically motivated people etc....

From millions of years of layers of plants and the nutrition / stored energy we can do things together (like we do now) but away from the preying on people mathematically. We need to solve that and realise numbers are not the way and life can preserve itself using it's own self-restoring system as it slowly dies (so more slowly not getting so rammed by mankind hell-bent on generating debt and expecting people to try catching with arbitrary infinite strings of numbers owned by banks selling money itself with sole power to give and restrict).
