    Article disputing attention crisis. Does not put “bottom line up front”. Behind paywall. Archive formatted for much wider screen.

    Maybe we don’t need more attention? Maybe we need higher pay so we don’t need distractions?

    Will read later on a computer. Maybe

      The archive / mirror copy is actually a pleasant uncluttered read on a phone screen if you rotate to the horizontal. I talk only in practical terms, have not actually read due to other distraction.
