“Attention, as well as being a commodity that can be monetised through digital platforms, is a psychological wage. We know this from when we are children: think of the heaven of basking in the glow of an attentive parent or
teacher. To be recognised is to be told that you matter, that your life has worth and that you have a place in the world. There’s nothing unhealthy about that. But our media and politics leverage the psychological wages of attention in a way that is utterly corrosive and warping.”

“You can look at any one of the crises surrounding us - whether it's the climate emergency, the genocide in Gaza or rising inequality - and just see a reason to give up the hope that human beings are capable of bettering ourselves as a species. But the odds have always been stacked against justice. You'd never have bet on the success of the abolitionists, or the suffrage movement, or the civil rights struggle, or the fight for abortion access. But courage and collective action are capable of wondrous things. We have an obligation to resist the temptation of passivity and despair, while also seeing the scale of the challenge around us clearly.”
