This talk explores the concept of measurement and its relationship to technology and sensitivity. It discusses the (erroneous) idea that life and faith cannot be measured like physical entities. It compares the lifestyles of animals and subsistence cultures, which live in the present without investing in the future, to higher forms of life that require faith for future investment. The essay concludes that investing in the future is essential for a full life, and this investment requires faith and since investing is a measurable activity, its precursors that is faith and life, are also measurable as correlates.
