Start here! Welcome to the School of Radical Attention. Here we practice Attention Activism: the movement to push back against the fracking of human attention by coercive digital technologies. Each episode can be practiced alone or with others.
In this episode, we tak about pillar no. 1 of attention activism: STUDY. This is a commitment to diverse forms of teaching and learning on attention (what it is, what it can be, what it can do).
Please send your voice notes to fill the empty cup of attention to strotherschool@sustainedattention.net.
Our book, Attensity: A Manifesto for the Attention Liberation Movement, comes out January 20th and is available for preorder: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/782387/attensity-by-the-friends-of-attention/
