I overheard someone say to his friend “my heart rates like 104 bpm” What ever happened to saying “I’m excited” or “I’m nervous”??? Must we reduce everything to a number? It seems benign, but we live in an age where we are constantly bombarded with data, and that has an effect on how we perceive things.

Look at the big picture. They can’t just go in and say “we’re gonna start censoring” They do it piecemeal.
