I gotta say, the attention economy also harms me, given I specifically have attention deficit disorder and spend a huge percentage of my income on treating it, really adhere to the treatment. In fact I'm trying to find cortisol blood tests, like the glucose tests diabetics use after pricking their finger, prick my finger too, to test for cortisol ie stress. I have no other way of knowing if I'm stressed! And demanding attention creates stress, and stress is physically harmful, and for me there's no benefit.

The attention economy owes me money.
