Big Tech is the modern quarry: our attention is the solid rocks that big tech breaks into small pieces, so it can steal those one by one and sell them to advertisers. In return it gives us useless plastic thinklets.

Consciousness must be related to connectedness. A microchip is like a prison where transistors sit in isolated cells and don't interact with each other, so while each prisoner is conscuous, a group higher-order consciousness doesn&#x27

I bet it's very similar to how drug addicts feel: "intense feeling" during consumption, and the empty feeling afterwards. This must be the reason why CCP doesn't allow its subjects to play online games too much. A suffic
