attention is sacred
We have been co-evolving with ravenous attention predators forever. This is not a fight we can, or should want to, opt out of. We already live in a universe with church, slot machines, and Rhianna. The Sorrows of Young Werther. The Beatles. The bigger and more successful they get, the more boring they become, and the easier they are to ignore.

taste is the business end of attention - we will need to learn how to use it to survive. humans are not helpless creatures who must be protected from the grindhouse of optimized infotainment. we are attention warriors.
