In a discussion on Radio Atlantic, Chris Hayes highlights the pervasive issue of attention theft caused by modern technology. He argues that companies exploit our biological impulses to keep us engaged, leading to a society where authentic human connection is undermined. Drawing parallels to Marx's theories, Hayes suggests that technology alienates people from the vital resource of attention, resulting in a societal malaise where real interactions become increasingly rare. Hayes underscores the importance of recognizing and combatting this issue for our mental well-being.
"Our entire lives now is the wail of that siren going down the street."
"I think it's because there's something holy or sublime in actual human connection that can't be replicated."
