Quantifying the Quantity

The more we are running away from quantifying things in life, the closer we are to it.


The more we advocate that we are not going to be that academic anymore, and starting to look into extra-curricular activities, we begin to find the scoreboards.

The more we are asking people to do start-ups, the more we are doubting people ideas, if they dont have any failures under the belt.

The more we are encouraging people to be out of their comfort zones, the more we are finding methods to make things measurable.

We look down on exams, but we agree that it's the best way to distinguish the best from the good.

Even psychometric tests are being practiced like mid-term exams, so how do we claim that we are not quantifying things anymore?
