Take Control of Your Attention

exercise control over your attention, take advantage of the greatest library of knowledge ever accessible to humans, and become the highest possible version of yourself take no initiative over your own consumption and let your attention be captured and mind controlled by other people and corporations — for their profit every human with internet access

A split image contrasts a radiant, enlightened human figure using the internet to learn and improve with a dark human-like figure whose mind is connected to wires and controlled by others. The joke presents internet access as a choice between self-directed education and passive consumption manipulated for corporate profit. It is used as a reaction to discussions about attention, social media, algorithms, and digital self-control.
