I’m not worrying about the affect of the attention wars on the minds of Americans like I’m not worrying about the effect of the LA fires on the unicorn population.
Not 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 owning a cell phone has helped me retain my attention 'in house'.
Then again, I'm a bit of an outlier. I've never owned a credit card either or ever been in debt to a bank.
A pretty amazing feat considering that I ran my own businesses for decades.
Hey! I haven’t gotten to read your book yet, but have been watching your interviews promoting it recently. Do you think your attention capitalism idea is related to what Yuval Harari discusses in Nexus about information networks and the creation of fictional reality to promote human cooperation?
Season 2 of Trump 45 SEEMS scarier, but we can now see his bluff. Maybe others will cause more damage, maybe it's another step in a Steve Bannon process. But right now, it's mostly fluff, and I don't need news to get outraged over what he says he might do.
This sounds like an interesting book! I don’t watch MSNBC anymore and don’t think I’ll go back to it anytime soon. I get my information through reputable sources then I move on.. I can’t be buried in Trump 💩24/7 anymore.
The reason for deficient attention spans is that so many US citizens are idiots: They're too lazy to sit down with a book, too stupid to understand it if they did, and too malicious to try to do anything good if they DID understand. A new pandemic might thin the herd of rural right-wing Republicans.
Sadly, the only place I can pre-order this in Australia seems to be the bad place.
So I've swallowed my revulsion and done just that.
Looking forward to Feb 4.

Too late - we are unfortunately way past this now. The problem was severely exacerbated when news anchors put celebrity and getting book’s published ahead of in-depth investigative journalism. Why wouldn’t people tune out?
