Attend To

William James once wrote, “Everyone knows what attention is.” Let’s assume we don’t.

Some major #amateurattention going on in the story of Luther Burbank, a famous American horticulturist. https://t.co/LY7OV9tM6l

Luther Burbank was America's most legendary horticulturist. He also rarely recorded his process of creation as he developed new plants. Once he died, much of his knowledge was lost. But Rachel Spaeth is trying to decode it. https://t.co/E5EDYVZNfb

Actors were paid to pretend to support natural gas power plant at New Orleans City Council meetings. Were paid $60 each time they wore orange shirts to meetings and $200 for a "speaking role” to deliver a pre-written speech. https://t.co/MtWE06rbU6

Animosity (by @EvilMarguerite, @De_Latorre, @robschwager, & @MarshallDillon) is a fascinating exploration of the human/nonhuman distinction and the limitations of certain categories in helping us adjudicate ethical dilemmas.

What is it about our pets that allows them to sense when we are upset? How do they know that… https://t.co/hs8o6yGAMU

How does our attention to and relationship with artificial intelligence influence the way we engage with the world? Whatever the answer, the anxiety associated is creating more jobs... #nonhumanattention https://t.co/ixNMGxOK8f

How to prepare for the day:
-Stare at tree
-Really stare at tree
-See tiny ant crawling on tree
-This ant is so tiny compared to this tree yet crawls up it without fear or hesitation how can I be like this ant?
-Consider growing more legs
-Get pincers?
-Continue admiring ant
-Nap

How do these “non-human” entities affect our humanized attention? What kind of world would constitute the extension of copyright to non-humans? What other traditionally “human rights” could be extended to non-humans? https://t.co/NneQhYx72x

[Tiffany C. Li @tiffanycli]

The Naruto #monkeyselfie decision, while not surprising, is interesting because legal status of copyright for animals could be extended to copyright for AI & other “non-human” entities (posthumans, cyborgs, genetically-enhanced animals, space aliens).

"Measuring embodiment is no easy task; how can you objectively conceptualize the “feeling” of being in the body?" The authors in this study attempt to do just that. https://t.co/UbOGyYZVSU
