Increasingly, we are required, encouraged, and/or motivated to track our behavior, presumably to improve our life “quality.” But health and life-satisfaction trends are not cooperating: Empirical evidence for success is sorely lacking. Intelligence has been tracked for more than 100 years; perhaps this example offers some hints about tracking’s overall social impact. I suggest that Huxley’s Brave New World offers a relevant long-term extrapolation and that popular recent tracking activities will accelerate “progress” in that dystopian direction.

所有这些跟踪“我们是谁”的结果是什么？智能示例

我们越来越需要、鼓励和/或有动力跟踪我们的行为，大概是为了提高我们的生活“质量”。但健康和生活满意度趋势并不合作：成功的经验证据非常缺乏。情报已被追踪 100 多年；也许这个例子提供了一些关于跟踪的整体社会影响的提示。我建议赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》提供了相关的长期推断，而且最近流行的追踪活动将加速那个反乌托邦方向的“进步”。
