Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is it time for a movement to reclaim attention? Discussing Attensity! with the Friends of Attention
Q: Counting and measuring things is super important, and it's part of how we keep track of what's going on. How do you base your theories when you can't rely on commodified numbers?
While quantitative tools are valuable for certain analyses, the guests argue that much of attention is qualitative and lived. They advocate a broader framework that includes phenomenological experience, social solidarity, and political will, rather than relying solely on metrics. They also point to historical movements (e.g., Civil Rights) where moral clarity and collective action superseded purely numeric indicators.

Q: What is a peer mentor?
A peer mentor is someone who has lived through the same experiences at a similar life stage and can share that lived experience to support and reassure others, creating a sense of synchronicity and practical guidance within a shared challenge.
