Social media has great power but attention economy is also destructive. Its dynamics helped destroy capacity in many other movements.

I'll try to write more shorter pieces (I'm trying to finish my book on networked movements!) but attention is .. the whirlwind of movements.

Movements that understand (and tame) the destructive, awesome, central role of attention suffer from its fire, even as they try to wield it.

I'm not pessimistic. I see a young generation that has movement experience, but less of either cynicism or faux utopianism of my generation.
