'To be diverted isn’t simply to have too many stimuli but to
be confused about what to attend to and why.
Distraction is the very opposite of emancipation: failing to see what is worthwhile in life,
and lacking the wherewithal to seek it.'
'This is often called an ‘information economy’, but the
market is supposed to run on scarcity, not surplus. In reality it’s an ‘attention economy’ – what
is in short supply are the mental and physical resources for actually taking
notice of anything and for trying to make sense of it’.
