The Twittering Machine VII: We Are All Scripturient
If life is defined by what we attend to, then an attention economy
converts life into raw material for extraction. The economic model for
this extraction is addiction. Addictions work, almost behind our backs,
through a thousand small decisions. What began as diversion comes to
have veto power over all other hopes, loves, passions. So we find
ourselves writing more than ever before in human history, at work,
during our toilet breaks, in commutes, at dinners and dates, before bed
and as soon as we wake up. We are scripturient, possessed by a violent
desire to write. We must reclaim that passion from the social industry.
We must, like the Luddites, free ourselves from the machine.
