**_Everything_ is quantifiable, and should be quantified.**
Everything is a #measure or can be measured.
#Science can study anything, and #mathematics is the language of science.
The fact that some aspects of life seem hard to estimate doesn't mean we are better off not even trying and coming up with our best approximation.
More #information rarely hurts, and even rough approximations (accompanied by their respective confidence intervals) are useful information.
One can measure, weigh and analyse… and still be sensitive, funny, romantic, impressionable, intuitive, creative — if one so chooses after all the (numeric) information is available.
@tripu
Is this you saying it?
@tripu So I have to put the human factor here (what the values mean to you or I as main part of my answer and only partial agreement with what you wrote (does very well it it's own field but horrible in the human realms / different language).
How much all those things you wrote don't touch on these human things is also telling about the 'teaching' and development of it, including what information is taught and not taught... (often no consent or uniqueness or sovereign ways added / considered psychologically to a person), It's all but omitted (compared to what's out there in STEM etc) and probably I think it matters to me and others those things outside the box (but not governments/empires who develop some things 100% not other things, deliberately not being responsible fir those things).
So I have touched on and circling this recently I think and well before so I'm getting nearer but that first line with do for now and I will later list what will be more helpful.
Oh yeah I remember a good conversation.... (or you be a judge and listen)
And also a 'shed load' of points I made about specifically numbers which by nature and classification discriminate humans (only try to measure some things and not others bother from those human using some methods, and by the methods also not being enough to measure everything about unique and changing human beings, moods, happiness, job, needs, expressions, feeling etc)
