This chapter presents a virtual discussion about the quantitative revolution's legacy for past, present, and future by various authors. This virtual discussion was written during a time when actual in-person discussions were difficult due to COVID-19 and when the notion of an in-person meeting, such as the workshop, seemed impossible. Auantitative methods should be employed as much as possible so that the results can be measured and compared. Each day, conclusions based exclusively on field observations and analysis of examples become more contested due to the high degree of subjectivism and the impossibility of measuring the degree of generalization of the examples taken. A place-based narrative on the arrival of the quantitative revolution among Brazilian geographers reveals the crucial role of an international network of human and nonhuman actors responsible for disseminating new theories, methods, and techniques in geographical investigations.
