Quantum conundrum

There has always been tussle between subjectivity -objectivity, fact-value, science-mysticism for occupying the centre stage for having determiner role in discourse. While objectivity boasts of its focus in quantified form, subjectivity claims for its reality in crude form. Of course this tussle is not like capitalism vs socialism where capitalism won the war. It's a conflict between visible and invisible. I find , the present era of scientific visibility has overpowered human consciousness and number, digit, quantity etc are ruling the roost. There is rush for being counted in each and every act. And, this has in turn oversimplified life creating bubble. The number game has crated a mad rush. Countries are desperate to occupy rank in HDI, Corruption perception Index, Ease of doing business ranking, GDI,GII n 'n' number of  similar indices.Rating Agencies are dictating policies, steering the socioeconomic life of nations. They just put some parameters and decide quantum fate of country which have multiplex repercussions. The mirage of number can be seen everywhere from TIMES, FORBES, FORTUNE ranking for billionaires to global intellectuals to  most wanted terrorist to most desirable woman.   Top 10, 100 and sometimes 500 are glorified in such a manner as if 11, 101 n 501 have no equal value. I am trying to emphasize so because the mirage of number has made people mechanical ,digital. Your opinion about someone ll change just with a number. If she is 5'3", 26 year old in place of ur prejudices of "the best" 5'5", 25 year old, you may have very different opinion about her. Similarly you may see a an IAS aspirant with 4th attempts very differently from 2nd or 3rd attempt. Thanks God people don't see differently for late UID number. I find such "numeral nautanki" very unnatural from Indianness point of view, the very "0" of ours signify it. It's called zero , nul, nil, naught, cypher. If all are not equal, at least we must recognize differences n give due regard.
