      If I have seen a print headline that wasn’t clickbait for *years* now. In fact even this afternoon’s evening standard headline was one. Not sure that this can be regulated without annihilating freedom of press. (Also don’t think it should be, but even so.)

      True. Though I do think we need some way of regulating attention capture. At the moment, there are no repercussions.

      Why does that infringe on people’s safety and freedom so badly that it has to be regulated though?

      my attention is all i have. it is not a product to be bought and sold without consequence. if i have any freedom at all, i want it to be that i can choose what to pay attention to. being at the mercy of corporations who exploit evolutionary weaknesses for money aint cool.

      Evolution codes for clickbait? I can see clickbait being memetically evolved, but there's so many non-genetic things that go into clickbait that I'd be surprised if it's biologically hard-wired.

      That is a good point actually, what would a trait of high distractibility be selected genetically for? (Though maybe memetic evolution is the right and fair answer here)

      Perhaps not "distractibility"? Instead, consider the very adaptive trait of, "What are my peers thinking and feeling right now?" Lots of models cite interacting with our ancestral social environment as a key driver of human intelligence evolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_human_intelligence#Models …

      Gonna read your whole thread in a sec but Lulie and I were responding to “distraction reduces our capacity to make progress & change. logical me wants to make a difference, animal me likes pretty things.”, which I also took to imply “distraction is evolutionary”

      Could you say more? I'm wanting to understand what y'all are wanting to explore. Are you all wanting to compare models of what "distraction" is and how it came to be?

      (If so, we might be using "distraction" differently? 1: As a vector that always points away from the thing you are trying to accomplish 2: As a vector that points at a competing desire, under which is some universal human need ) Or I may have missed the thread of conversation!

      Woah this is interesting. I guess... both definitions? Or perhaps at their intersection

          Yeah, there's a slipperiness there! #1 could be seen as an undesirable thing. It could also be seen as 1 of 2 fundamental capacities an attention system needs: continuing, and switching.

          It's like... say someone is intending to study for a test, and takes a stimulant. They end up meticulously cleaning their vacuum instead! What happened?
