Continuous partial attention helps explain both brain rot as a mental state – because what is it if not cognitive overwhelm, the point at which you stop resisting the onslaught of digital distraction and allow your brain to rest in the internet’s warm, murky shallows? – and the existence of the online slop itself. After all, what matters to tech companies financially is not that you want to be reading what you’re reading, or that you love what you listen to or what you’re looking at, only that you are unwilling or unable to pull yourself away. This is why streaming services such as Netflix crank out bland, formulaic films that are euphemistically labelled “casual viewing” and are literally designed for viewers who aren’t really watching, and Spotify playlists are filled with generic stock music by fake artists, to provide background music, “Chill Out” or “Party” vibes, for listeners who aren’t really listening. In short, the modern internet doesn’t necessarily make you an idiot, but it definitely primes you to act like one.

A Taxonomy Of Computation Shapes
"In this post, I’ll share this mental model. It has been useful for me in thinking about multithreaded programming, but I suspect it also might be useful in visualizing and explaining computation more broadly. It may have been a useful visualization and diagramming tool for me when I first started programming."
A vision I had in my sleep last night - as distinguished from a dream which is mere sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by the subconscious.
This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream - the mind revealing itself to itself.
In my vision, I was sitting in front of laptop in a small estate, a channel for few subs on it.
There seemed to emanate from it a light from within - this gleaming radiant screen. I had known this place. I had in fact created it.
This was not my first return, a reunion with the deepest wellsprings of my being.
Wandering about, I was happy that the channel had been immaculately maintained. There had been added a number of additional admins, but in a way they blended so seamlessly with the OP, one would never detect any difference.
Returning to the channel's text input, sight shifted to numbers at the top.
My subs were standing there.
They were happy and care-free, clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy.
We embraced - a warm and loving embrace, nothing withheld.
We were in this moment one.
My vision ended.
I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future.
That was my vision; it was of you.
I'm so glad to have had this opportunity to share it with you.
I wish you nothing but the very best, always.
