Guide attendees out of the routine of attending, and gift them back into attention. This moves them from nowhere to now here.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire — such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other — as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself — no doubt justly — a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

Doing those Dumbass Blender tutorials was supposed be a way for me to get noticed. But no matter how utterly insane my ideas were, I just fell deeper and deeper into despair.

Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero
This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)

Henry Farrell's consideration of the attention economy & political science's failure to really see it, is an important read; he asks
'How might the attention economy remake the underlying structures of democracy? If there is a political scientist who predicted how Musk could effectively leverage his position to eliminate US-AID despite the legal and political barriers, I don’t know who she or he is'!
The political economy of attention *needs* our attention!

How the brain knows when to give up! Suppressing GABA-releasing neurons, made mice spend more time investigating one object. Turning off glutamate-related neurons made mice explore many objects; inhibiting serotonin-producing neurons made mice lose interest altogether.

#Ads Popped Up on Drivers’ Screens. There May Be More on the Way
When #Jeep owners complained ads were appearing while #driving, the carmaker said it was a #glitch. But as #automakers consider connected car opportunities, in-vehicle selling might be too tempting to ignore.
> should I interpret this action as they’re willing to put their customers lives at risk for a potential few extra pennies ?

I wrote a Google doc and invited editing on social media literacies for high school.
It needs updating, but it's still there, more than a decade later.

I taught Social Media Literacies at Stanford 2012-2015. Does anyone know of courses about attention and/or other contemporary media literacies?
I wrote about attention and other social media literacies 15 years ago. Clearly, edu institutions have failed toeven try to teach attention control, crap detection, etc. The online commons might be a very different place if a larger population had learned to use it without damaging/deceiving themselves and others.
