Nothing has made me want to go off-grid more than this article. It's terrifying.
I think it shows the reality of the dangers we have if we don't start having these conversations now. It is crazy to me how this isn't talked about more especially when we look at Meta's revenues...

The entire point of an attention economy is to... capture attention.

What happens when we don't have a peripheral that we need to capture attention?

What happens when it is directly connected to our brain or a part of our exocortex?
