I have a piece coming out *soon* in
@WIRED about speech in the 21st century—basically arguing that what Facebook/Youtube controls is attention and prioritization, not speech. It is basically my pre-take on all these changes (wrote it last Fall!)Show this thread -
Attention and prioritization of information and interaction—probably most everything else in life as well—are the true bottlenecks and indicators of importance and values. The day is 24 hours for everyone, and that seemingly simple statement, to me, is one of the deepest truths!

And much of what we are discussing about what's going on in platforms comes down to just that: the power to prioritize interaction and to direct attention. That's why it is allso important; hard to think of too many things in life more important that that.
