THE THEFT OF METRICS: WHY MODERN SOCIETY FAILS TO RECOGNIZE AUTHENTIC SCIENCE

The contemporary intellectual landscape is characterized by a deep crisis manifested in the growing separation between technological progress and the understanding of human nature. While natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology have advanced through measurable and repeatable parameters, many humanities disciplines remain dominated by interpretive narratives that often lack objective metrics. This article analyzes the concept of the “theft of metrics” within the framework of the Odam Tili (Human Language) theory developed by Dr. Mahmudjon Kuchkarov. The theory proposes a paradigm shift from the conventional view of language as an arbitrary system of symbols to an embodied, biologically grounded understanding of linguistic structures and human cognition. Special attention is given to the relationship between measurement, language, and embodied human experience. The article also discusses the implications of this framework for understanding the limitations of contemporary artificial intelligence and the transformation of scientific paradigms in the humanities.
