Wars are fought over territory. Markets compete over capital. Modern societies are increasingly shaped by battles over attention.
Algorithms reward outrage, speed, and emotional extremes. Nuance struggles to survive. As attention fragments, shared understanding weakens.
This has consequences beyond media consumption. Political polarization deepens. Trust erodes. Anxiety becomes ambient.
Protecting attention is not a luxury—it is a survival skill. Choosing depth over immediacy, silence over constant input, and reflection over reaction strengthens individual resilience.
A society unable to focus cannot plan. An individual unable to focus cannot adapt.
