Treating the immeasurable core of life as unreal is an injustice against humanity

Evidence

Let us plant our flag: We refuse the totalizing and impoverishing logic of money-value. We propose alternatives to the datafication of being. We insist that there are other ways of keeping track of existence. We insist, what’s more, that some things cannot be “known”—at least, not immediately. Not completely. Perhaps not ever. That there is only so much that can be measured. That the stuff which makes life worth living, and worth sharing with others, is literally immeasurable. That to ignore this stuff—to deny its reality—is an injustice that denies our very humanity. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 251

Categorization

• DEFINE: Lays out the manifesto’s core negative claim: what makes life worth living is literally immeasurable, so measuring-centric ontology is itself a wrong.
• XREF: Echoes the Frankfurt School critique of instrumental/quantifying reason (Adorno’s identification as domination), and of the culture industry’s totalizing value.
