Excellent and deeply provocative essay. I always find discussions of attention more convicting than I'd like to admit. Perhaps exercises in cultivating attention can benefit faculty and other educators as much as university students!
An astute essay. Attention is in short supply for writers as well as readers. Thus the pressure on readers to scroll through news feeds and on writers to deliver ‘hot takes’ quickly, to form and deliver immediately opinions on events as they happen. And thus, maybe, our inability to figure out what’s wrong with our society.

Thank you, Michael, for your exceptional essay. I will be commending it to students and faculty at Liberty University.
