Attention is all you need? The modern world demands more attention than anyone has. Our attention was colonized by social media, shadow work (in the economic rather than Jung sense), and the constantly changing software, portals, and platforms that are required to interact with the corpos/gov. So attention was automated (albeit poorly). And while it's not news, it's increasingly apparent to everyone that how we focus our attention is a significant part of who we are.
