[Attention is a state that assumes there is something new to be seen and that resists the tendency to declare observation finished.]

[What passes for sustained attention is actually a series of successive attempts to bring attention back to the same thing.]

"Ethical persuasion" means persuading the user to do something that is good for them, using "harmonious designs that continuously empower us instead of distracting and frustrating us"

[Most persuasive design, whether nefarious or 'empowering', assumes a shallow form of attention.]

[Experience is what we agree to attend to. At first I chose certain things to look at, and over time more and more actors appeared in my reality: after birds, there were trees, then different kinds of trees, then the bugs that lived in them. I began to notice animal communities, plant communities, animal-plant communities. I began to build a map of my attention that included more-than-human communities, noticing things that I had walked by past most of my life. This is bioregionalism.]
