Respect the thought here, though definitely feel like we're still a ways off. That said, what resonated most with me was the footnote:
"I believe attention hacking is going to be the sugar epidemic of this generation. I can feel the changes in my own life — I can still wistfully remember when I had an attention span. My friends’ young children don’t even know that’s something they should miss. I am angry and unhappy more often, but I channel it into productive change less often, instead chasing the dual dopamine hits of likes and outrage."
Further underscores for us as a society to find time to step away from technology and experience the "world" (nature, art, human interaction, etc.).
