Trump is the iconic example. He doesn’t have my attention and has no way to communicate directly with me. I don’t follow him on any social media and don’t watch the news. But, he’s won the collective mindshare and so he crosses my mind in some way constantly.

This is very different from mindshare. Mindshare is by definition a % of attention and is very difficult to get. Attention spans are weak so you can get it briefly, but living in the collective mindshare for a sustainable period is more competitive than ever.

Attention is cheap and becoming cheaper. Having an audience is overrated.

My great-great-great uncle died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Tonight I found a book of his letters home at my parents’ place. Pretty crazy to read through it all. Every letter mentions him sending money home to the family (despite frequently delayed paychecks) and ends with “Write as soon as you get this”.
