The One With Real Value Doesn’t Win. Whoever Makes the Loudest Noise Does.
We live in a system where it’s no longer about what you do, it’s about how much attention you can grab. It’s not the most valuable who wins, it’s the loudest, the one who simplifies, provokes, sells fluff. This is the attention economy, and it’s eating us alive.
Work used to create wealth; now it’s engagement. Where attention goes, money follows. Even Kyla Scanlon says it: attention has become an economic infrastructure, a new kind of currency, but toxic.
Politics figured this out a long time ago. Extremes, scandals, and outrage memes are fuel for the algorithm. One viral video and you set the agenda. That’s how attention turns into power.
And what about us? We live in an endless scroll, always chasing the next dopamine hit. We’ve become stimulus addicts, and our attention is being auctioned to the highest bidder.
This isn’t just a tech problem, it’s cultural, it’s educational. We need a new kind of awareness. We have to treat our attention like a scarce resource because it is. And if we don’t learn to protect it, there won’t be anything left to defend.
