attention is sacred

everything is hyper engineered to make you addicted https://t.co/J7WvnjoAdQ

When you’re reading a physical book, your attention is not competing for other things which is why they're so powerful. Books give you solemnity. You forget the world exists, enjoy what the author has to say, and even feeling yourself wanting to know them as a friend.

Short-form content captures attention and brings immediate gratification, but it sacrifices lasting enrichment. Watching a bunch of reels doesn’t match the full immersion of a movie. Reading a series of posts doesn’t rival the depth of insight of a book. Long live long-form.
