Slowcore Quote of the Day

To my mind, the heart of slowcore is the movement to reclaim human attention from extractive forces, including hustle culture.

This quote is from a riveting deep-dive New Yorker essay by Nathan Heller on the philosophy and practices of a semi-secret society called The Order of the Third Bird, which focuses on attention sovereignty and refinement. 

The title ("The Battle for Attention") doesn't do it justice. The subtitle is much better: "How do we hold on to what matters in a distracted age?"

I highly recommend taking time for a leisurely reading of the full piece, especially if you're interested in philosophy of attention.
