Notes from the Exit: Why I Left the Attention Economy

joanwestenberg.com · Apr 21

I didn’t leave the attention economy because I hated it. I left because I understood it, because once you see the system for what it is—a parasitic loop that rewards noise over nuance, metrics over meaning, reaction over reflection—you have two choices. Keep optimizing for reach, or

@Daojoan : "And here’s the irony: when I stopped chasing eyeballs, I started building trust. When I ditched the algorithm, I found an audience. Not a crowd—an audience. People who don’t just scroll past, but actually stop. Read. Think. Reply. People who aren’t here for the dopamine drip, but for the clarity, the insight, the invitation to opt out too."

Laudato si' (24 May 2015)

Encyclical Letter Laudato si' of the Holy Father Francis on care for our common home (24 May 2015)

If you want to know why US government members at the highest level now engage all resources into the annihilation of Pope Francis' work, no need to read further than the second paragraph of Laudato Si' - vatican.va/content/francesco/e

2. This sister [Mother Earth] now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will. The violence present in our hearts, wounded by sin, is also reflected in the symptoms of sickness evident in the soil, in the water, in the air and in all forms of life. This is why the earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor; she “groans in travail” (Rom 8:22). We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters.

Sad to see Pope Francis has passed away. I am not Catholic, nor religious, but his Encyclical Letter "Laudato Si'" is worth reading.

"The continued acceleration of changes affecting humanity and the planet is coupled today with a more intensified pace of life and work which might be called “rapidification”. Although change is part of the working of complex systems, the speed with which human activity has developed contrasts with the naturally slow pace of biological evolution. Moreover, the goals of this rapid and constant change are not necessarily geared to the common good or to integral and sustainable human development. Change is something desirable, yet it becomes a source of anxiety when it causes harm to the world and to the quality of life of much of humanity."

It’s not too late to stop Trump and the Silicon Valley broligarchy from controlling our lives, but we must act now | Carole Cadwalladr

In her final piece for the Observer, Carole Cadwalladr reveals what happened when she returned last week to give the opening speech at Ted, where she gave her first – life-changing – talk six years ago

Carole Cadwalladr is an always-relevant observer of the relationships between tech, politics, and media. She was put under incredible pressure by those whose dark activities she exposed, and she stood her ground. A woman of impeccable moral and professional standing.

Cadwalladr is our Cassandra. We must listen to her.

When the trust owning The Guardian daily newspaper sold off The Observer (the Sunday paper), Cadwalladr was one of the many fine journalists who got axed. This is her last piece for the (old) Observer.

Like everything she writes, it is essential reading. Uncomfortable and important reading.
