Against measurable attention
 

"[O]ur attention will always be greater than whichever of its properties we can measure. What this means, therefore, is that to exchange our attention 'like' money or 'for' money will always be attended by loss. Because this thing we call attention is vaster, deeper, and far harder to plot on a balance sheet than the metrics of 'time on device'"
