"Because all the troubles that such a life involve are just reduced to banality, just the common rubble of little one line joke, you follow me? It’s made banal by it. It’s banalised that way." - Texan Rick Roderick, 1993, "Self Under Siege", Duke University
“In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” ― Herbert A. Simon

The Twitter problem persists in Bluesky and Mastodon. Fragmented topic-changing scrolling of a slew of cat photos, advertisements, mixed in with serious topics. Mental context changes.
