Article disputing attention crisis. Does not put "bottom line up front". Behind paywall. Archive formatted for much wider screen.
Maybe we don't need more attention? Maybe we need higher pay so we don't need distractions?
Will read later on a computer. Maybe
You're not missing much. The author rambles for many, many paragraphs, and I don't use that word lightly. It reads like a college essay, where the goal is to produce an X-page paper, so they just cram as many quotes, attributions, and subjects as they can to pad the length.
It feels like they're trying to go for a Pulitzer, but it's just reactionary garbage that rambles on and on, jumping from topic to topic, taking quotes from scientists and philosophers from antiquity—as if their ideas were still valid today simply because they once existed. The author appears to have a lack of attention, methinks...
Also they appear to be an ADHD denialist, so fuck them.
Reader mode fixes that very quickly.
The archive / mirror copy is actually a pleasant uncluttered read on a phone screen if you rotate to the horizontal. I talk only in practical terms, have not actually read due to other distraction.
