^^ Redefines meaning of life to be dollars, accuses opponent of redefining zero-sum.

Silicon Valley is built on the attention economy. That term is a euphemism for making people spend their waking hours on addictive crap, taking away from the useful sum total. That's my definition.

Silicon valley is built on transistors, and by extension computers and software. The media industry is built on the attention economy.

Competing for people's attention is a zero-sum game, but building technology that helps people be more productive and do new things they couldn't before is not zero-sum.

Are you accusing me of redefining the meaning of life to be dollars? If so, I completely deny that accusation as it doesn't remotely align with my beliefs or what I said in my comment.
