A panoramic exploration of the way that games perpetuate addiction, making reference to the Attention Economy and Gamification, plus a call for more ethical reforms.
I love that little rhyme at the beginning, I think its exactly the revolution that is needed right now. If we agree that attention is being monetized, then I think voting with attention is the natural evolution of voting with wallets (which we also should do). Thanks for defining what I hadn't yet put into words :)
Equally, thank you for the support and words of wisdom!
Leon,
A revolution is pending. It's a revolution in attending. We attend to those things which we choose to prioritize.
Prioritizing the arc of our lives while also prioritozing our human family, that's like voting with our attention.
Here I've said in a very few words what others have said much more eloquently in thick well-referenced books.
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you for your good work.
Don't stop now!
