title: [Quantified self instead of cock fights : The new taxonomy of the social].
abstract: The self-measurement boom is linked to many risks despite euphoric assessments and promises of benefit by developers, pioneers and companies. Lifelogging - the sum of all technologies and applications used for digital self-measurement and lifelogs - as a "disruptive" technology is changing our "cultural matrix", the institutionalised rules of coexistence. The measurement of man and the reduction of such to a numerical object and a mere data set are creating a negative principle of organisation of the social. Here, the resulting phenomenon, rational discrimination, is located as a pathology of quantification between statistical and social discrimination, and analysed in its consequences.
