Have you ever started doing something you really enjoyed, but then got lost obsessing about the numbers involved? It might be a runner who becomes fixated on their pace, or a student who cares only for their exam grades. It might be an influencer who only posts these days to get views, and to get likes.  This is what the philosopher C. Thi Nguyen calls ‘value capture,’ and it’s when the messiness of human life and activity gets replaced by a clean number.  For Nguyen, there is nothing wrong with numbers or with gamification. A company needs to turn a profit, and stats can motivate us. But the problem with value capture comes in two forms.  The first is when we feel that someone else is defining the value of our activity. A social media algorithm will decide if my posts are any good, and a curriculum will decide if my learning is worthy. It's a conflict of values. I think this thing is great, somebody else thinks it is bad, and that can hurt.  Second, and more importantly, giving something a number can reduce its value. If we have to run only a certain way, or we have to log in to get a streak, it removes the pleasure. When a student has to get only good exam grades, they learn to hate learning.  Nguyen argues that there are some things in life that we shouldn't give a number to. As Oscar Wilde once put it, 'a cynic is somebody who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.' And so sometimes, if we are to value life, we have to stop counting it, and we have to start living it instead.
