almost 50 years later this sounds no less radical than it must have sounded on national TV in 1978 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHXaa6IRi1I/?igsh=MTJsaDkzNTV6eXJ5cg%3D%3D

Third, and also related, this essay from the New Yorker, which challenges the idea that there is a digital attention crisis (I love challenging orthodoxy) "Ours is an era of obsession as much as distraction, of long forms as much as short ones, of zeal as much as indifference.
