The built world is made of attention as much as of materials

Evidence

Josh and Mike and Mr. DeLay are what we might call CRAFTERS and OPERATORS. Their highly skilled forms of durational attention are responsible for the infrastructure that makes society tick. As Attention Activists, they stand for the absolute necessity of a free mind to wield the tools, tend the grounds, and build the railings. They remind us that our world—the one where we live, the one we can touch—is actually made of attention just as much as it is made of metal and concrete. — The Friends of Attention, Attensity!, 401
