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 “kind,” you can think of the rest—those kinds of attention that we call “radical” attention—as being, well, infinity-minus-one. Which is to say, infinite. So we have plenty of tools in our kit. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 203

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Pins down the definition of ‘radical attention’ as all attention not task-oriented or durationally optimized — infinity-minus-one relative to the frackers’ single kind.
  • 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 essays’ logic of hidden, uncommodified value beyond instrumental extraction.
