Shut Up and Chant

Let's face it. Whatever attention the ubiquitous brain rot of the smartphone dosed on social media fails to exploit, the AI prompt will surely slurp up as global markets and technologies get in cahoots to harvest the totality of human attention—and, by extension, our self-awareness.

Look it up for yourself: More information does not seem to help the situation. And so in our attention insurgency, we turn off our phones, turn away from the AI, get quiet, and begin to chant. Chant along as we recount the neuroscience that teaches you how to turn off the ego, tune in to the mad expanses within, and drop out of the disinformation pandemic. Spiral along with early info victim Philip K. Dick into the negentropic vortex and emerge brimming with schemes for hacking your own consciousness with Finnegans Wake. Shut Up and Chant invites you to finally shut up, chant, breathe, read, and dream with the authors in our attention insurgency. Hurry up, please—it's time to shut up and chant.
