You are now constantly being manipulated so your attention can be captured and sold. This is done through a variety of ways, one of which is through the constant stream of outrage that is being pumped constantly through your eyes and ears into your brain. Sometimes it is useful to be aware of things in the world that you have the power to help change. Other times it creates a sense of hopelessness, distraction from things that matter, or, worse, an appeal to our own prejudices. Learning how to regulate your attention in the face of this tsunami is now a zen-level skill that everyone in society needs to understand and master. Otherwise you will be endlessly manipulated until the day you die.
