Precisely. Same applies to proactive transactors generally. They are ubiquitous and unavoidable.
Social scientists now designate the Internet an 'environment' โ it's no longer a tool one can switch on and off. It is pervasive by now (per your comment) practically a life support system.
Attention theft is thus rife, as perpetrated by the proactive establishment (those who presume to engage) on the reactive establishment (those in effect).
Attention debt results: a huge crisis.
Attention is considered a primary resource, yet it's treated as value-less. Appropriated by one side, given away by the other.
A revolution is needed, a reactive revolution, where the proactive transactor is held accountable by the reactive other. i.e. if you presume to capture someone's attention, you are then obliged to return it to them, in kind, if required.
โ This will solve war.
Perhaps that is what the aliens are coming to bestow on us. Let's hope.
@joblackisback@AVARY social scientists classify the internet as an 'environment', something one can't just switch off. it is by now too pervasive. so there are counter arguments to your point.
@allseeingsylar@bennyjohnson So many rules!
Sounded like she was mocking a stereotype. Expressing herself in a particular context (that the majority of her detractors are not informed on.) Either way, no need to call in the national guard. We should all be less-affected by this shite.
