how do y'all use media technology to make decisions in your everyday life?
27:41
I know that we are in a attention struggle, attention economy.

And I'm like, if I can get somebody to not pay attention to $200 dates for five seconds and pay attention to what's happening in this election, that I felt like I've done something powerful.

I think so much of media is focused on distracting us and making sure that certain messages don't get amplified or certain people don't get pushed to the front.
28:06
I think it's important for us to use media intentionally.
28:09
Like, yeah, I might be posting a bunch of funny memes today, but in the middle of that, I'm going to tell you to go to the city council meeting.
28:16
I think, like, as long as I'm having people's attention, I know a responsibility comes with that, and I want to be a person who uses my responsibility in a way that's beneficial to people.
