style="font-weight:bold">In development work, there is a tendency to confuse political discourse with technical knowledge, enhancing the power of select experts over a) political actors/activists, and b) over the empirical knowledge of the wider population</strong> (Nadia Lambek, Jessica Duncan)<br><br>1. Since the use of quantitative measurements can be a means to a biased end, <strong style="font-weight:bold">data and evidence</strong> from the social sciences <strong style="font-weight:bold">can be used for regressive ends,</strong> especially depending on what is measured. The question for human rights (HR) activists is: <strong style="font-weight:bold">Can we</strong>, without the economic clout or the power to mobilize citizens, <strong style="font-weight:bold">use</strong> the fruits of <strong style="font-weight:bold">measurement as valuable advocacy tools to promote progressive change</strong> in public policies? (Bill Jeffries)<br><br>2. I do not deny: While measurement is a key component of understanding and addressing development progress, I do want to point out that <strong style="font-weight:bold">there are limitations associated with indicator-based measurement tools</strong> (think SDGs) including:</p> <p align="left" style="vertical-align:baseline;line-height:1.5em;color:#555555;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:1.3em;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">• <strong style="font-weight:bold">Indicators are often developed on the basis of what data exists and not on how to best measure progress</strong> towards normative goals. <br> • Indicators have analytic limitations and <strong style="font-weight:bold">the selection of indicators is never a neutral process.</strong><br> <br> • There are limitations to imposing indicators designed in one context (e.g., global) to another context (e.g., local). <br><br>3. Emphasizing the <strong style="font-weight:bold">quantification</strong> of change <strong style="font-weight:bold">can</strong> thus <strong style="font-weight:bold">lead to mistaking means</strong> (using quantitative measures for reporting or tracking social change) <strong style="font-weight:bold">for ends</strong> (reporting or tracking qualitative transformations). This is often used to stir emotions…(i) (Think Trump)<br></p> <p align="left" style="vertical-align:baseline;line-height:1.5em;color:#555555;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:1.3em;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">(i): The Oxford Dictionary added the word post-truth and defined it as the situation in which objective facts or data influence less than calls to emotions and to personal beliefs. There thus is a ‘true truth’ and an ‘emotional truth’ and the latter can be said to be a lie-transformed-by-an-emotion as long as it becomes the belief of a majority. <br><br> 4. A wider variety of data and news sources was supposed to be the safeguard of a rational age. However, studies repeatedly show that <strong style="font-weight:bold">when confronted with diverse information choices, people rarely act like rational, civic-minded automatons.</strong> Instead, we are influenced by preconceptions and biases, and we usually do what feels easiest; <strong style="font-weight:bold">we gorge on information that confirms our ideas</strong>, and we shun what does not. (think human rights) If we see something we do not like, we can easily tap away to something more pleasing. Then we all share what we found with our like-minded social networks, creating closed-off, shoulder-patting circles online. This creates an ecosystem in which <strong style="font-weight:bold">the truth value of the information does not matter.

Moreover, we live overwhelmed by trying to take in all the information on offer, but <strong style="font-weight:bold">we spend less time thinking</strong>. (A. Gomez) <br> • <strong style="font-weight:bold">Social media have given legions of idiots the right to talk</strong>, something they previously only did in a neighborhood bar with a glass of beer in their hand --and this did not hurt anybody. (Umberto Eco) <br> • Used recreationally, <strong style="font-weight:bold">the Internet risks reducing users to mindless clickers</strong>, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; <strong style="font-weight:bold">but done well, it has</strong> the <strong style="font-weight:bold">potential</strong> to expand and augment the very action-oriented HR and development space that more and more of us pursue. (Roberto Bisio) <br> • At any moment, <strong style="font-weight:bold">public opinion is a chaos</strong> of superstition, disinformation and prejudice. (Gore Vidal) <br> • True wisdom does not come from a mere accumulation of <strong style="font-weight:bold">data</strong> that <strong style="font-weight:bold">end up saturating </strong> in a sort of mental contamination.

Why? Because <strong style="font-weight:bold">information has openly become a trade good</strong>. The media are no longer profitable and whoever purchases the different media outlets has a personal interest. <strong style="font-weight:bold">Human Rights are ‘too abstract’ for the media</strong> and so we end up not having a rational view of the world and <strong style="font-weight:bold">we end up not knowing much of anything other than what is sensationalized</strong>. (R. Bissio) <br> • <strong style="font-weight:bold">Newspapers are the toys of a few rich men</strong>. Capitalists and editors are the new tyrants that have grabbed hold of the world. The media themselves have become the censors. Newspapers started existing to tell the truth, but today they exist to impede the truth is told. (G. K. Chesterton, 1874-1936) [Nothing new under the sun…]. <br> • <strong style="font-weight:bold">The elite makes</strong> good use of its paid agents in academia, in think tanks, in the corporate media and elsewhere to make <strong style="font-weight:bold">sure that you are kept carefully misinformed</strong> and told what to think and how to react. (R. Burrowes) <br> • <strong style="font-weight:bold">People’s politics are increasingly defined by the media they consume</strong> rather than by loyalty to parties. (P. Iglesias) <br> • <strong style="font-weight:bold">Freedom of expression: What good is it if the other does not listen?</strong> (A.
