    What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.

    Finally got around to watching this video. Great video outlining how destructive and damaging junk internet is to humans.

    1. It's funny that this guy's voice is so mellow and soothing (boring)
    2. I saw the thread title again and thought it said 'Attention Spain'

    I'm fantastic at focusing on anything, assuming it's not the thing I'm supposed to be focusing on.

    i think that's also why people are gravitating towards hate, outrage or incredulity.

    Easier to amplify and feel a sense of achievement when others react the same way by yours or the mob leaders influence

    Not very good at all. I get bored easily. Variety keeps things interesting except variety packs of products like oatmeal. They always sneak in 2 or 3 packets of the plain original. What makes them think if I'm buying because I like peaches and cream I'm going to eat the regular ones.
