That's exactly right. You know, attention is the substance of life. That is what our lives add up to. It's in every moment we are choosing to pay attention to something or we're having it compelled, but we're paying attention to something. And that's what adds up to a day and a week and a month and a year and a life. And... It's also finite.

You know, this is one of the key points I make is that part of the value and the reason it's so valuable and the reason there is such competition for the extraction of attention is that unlike information, it's capped.

Yes. I mean, I started reading Marx in high school, which is a weird thing to say, but it's true. Here's the basic argument Marx makes about labor. So he's living at this time where there's this new thing called wage capitalism, wage labor. People sell their labor per hour basis.
