Non-monetized radical attention vastly outnumbers fracker-engineered attention.
Evidence
In fact, the vast majority of the range of human attention falls into this category. If the task-oriented, durationally optimized attention that the frackers encourage is one âkind,â you can think of the restâthose kinds of attention that we call âradicalâ attentionâas being, well, infinity-minus-one. Which is to say, infinite. So we have plenty of tools in our kit. â The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 203

- ADDENDUM: The framing of attention as a finite extractable resource for one industry while an infinite untapped remainder exists pairs with the tree-grafting and sacrifice essaysâ logic of hidden, uncommodified value beyond instrumental extraction.
