Thoughts on Quantification
7 min readFeb 7, 2021
I asked a question yesterday: “Is it possible to improve our performance without quantification?”
And the answers were educational. The rough definition is: “the expression or measurement of the quantity of something.”
If one takes that narrowly enough, only objective measures count, and there are definitely arenas where it is difficult to find objective measures. This would make it very important to agree upon definitions, and I respect the notion that this makes art, relationships, and some other things difficult.
