This is so well-written, fun, useful, simple and brilliant Arman. 100 attention points to spend throughout the day—spend them wisely! And your examples (of some other person of course) are so on-point. Though I'd like to suggest that the attention realm can be hacked beyond its linear and finite frame. What if it's possible that you can actually GAIN back attention points you may have lost in your day, simply by helping other humans to orient their own attention toward worthwhile things—as you have done with this post. Now, I'm going to share your essay in Notes so more people can make use of its exceptional value, and as it gets shared, we all retrieve our attention like a divine multi-level pyramid scheme, where everyone is enriched and there are no losers at the bottom of the pyramid. Attention compounding in value as we share. May everyone share what matters today and protect the precious nature of our collective attention.
