[32]On reading Proust vs experiencing the world intermediated by screens (even
when youre not on one). “Your attention is, on a foundational level, all you
have. This is why it feels worse than bad to waste it. It feels annihilating.”

Hello! In order to comment or fave, you need to be a current kottke.org member.

conversation, [51]you can explore your options here.
Existing members can [52]sign in here. If you're a former member, you can [53]
renew your membership.
Note: If you are a member and tried to log in, it didn't work, and now you're

extensions. Or try [54]logging out and then [55]back in. Still having trouble?

Change your display name
[58][ ] [59][ ] [60][Change]
This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org;
your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real
name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick
something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose
something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't
change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership
service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people
might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might
disable this feature.

If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the [61]community
guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, [62]please let me know and I will
take a look at it.
