This is a fun philosophical discussion too, because we're straddling some questions of humanity—for millennia, we've relied on our gut feelings and intuition, and much less on precise measurement.
Along comes computation, and in a few short decades many people now have access to a gargantuan amount of computing power (few of these people maximize that potential). Now here you and I are, discussing hanging up most of that gutfeel and intuition and replacing it with a deep dataset of measurement. And we're not just riffing, we're having the conversation on a platform that is made of the tech that would theoretically support our ideas.
I'm mostly curious (versus for or against) about how we achieve harmony with a deeply measured existence. Once we get into it, can we get out? Will those who are uncomfortable with it be able to thrive without it?
Intense stuff. :)
