What could be the next great school of thought. A commingling of:

- ecology
- Space and Place
- Behavioral Studies

I would even say such a commingling would supersede what has been my primary preoccupation, Violence Studies. The above could rise above that and lead the way.

It would be the new ontology. It would not even require Marx inspired sociology.

"Eventually, I stopped responding to my body. I was responding instead to a dashboard." — @Daojoan

This is a great point and very much translates to so many other parts of life/work where people stop listening to their "body" (or to their org/product/offering), outsourcing/numbing/dumbing down their decision making based on dashboards of collected metrics and then changing their behaviors on auto-pilot to improve said metrics — without ever asking themselves if the data collected actually represents answers to the right (or even important) questions...

Metrics always invite comparison & competition — on a global scale — often without considering our own subjective contexts/needs/limits/aims...

Does the number of copilot prompts per day on a CTO dashboard indicate a highly productive developer or does a big fat zero merely show a different approach to problem solving?

Does the lack of constant updates to a FLOSS project mean it's become neglected/unusable or does it simply indicate it reached a level of stability?

Likewise, does my product/app need constant UI changes/updates to "streamline" user experience (often without even consulting users) based on some "goal" metrics?

Am I seen as an unproductive FLOSS developer if my public commit log doesn't show daily updates? Do gaps indicate laziness, illness, deep thinking or work on other projects? Like gaps in a CV, will these gaps of activity data hinder future employment chances or would I even want to work with orgs who select on this criteria?

Is a hike only good/better because it exceeds X kilometers or Y elevation meters? How does one measure the stunning views or the quality of the company which shared that experience?

Westenberg. · Why I Gave Up My SmartwatchSomewhere between the first time I tapped my wrist to skip a song and the three hundredth time I anxiously checked my resting heart rate, I started to hate my Apple Watch.
