Our attention is what sets us humans apart from other species.
Being able to look and think about our surroundings, noticing patterns, showing each other attention (empathy, love) is what makes us special. But it also makes us vulnerable.
Our attention can easily be hijacked, and that’s what we’re seeing across all the social media platforms nowadays, combined with “shock and awe” algorithms.
Nostr isn’t immune to this either, it’s just that there’s no algorithm pulling you in further.
Out of curiosity: how many times a day do you check your nostr, or news app? And at how many “checks” does this become an unhealthy habit?
