Not to cry anti intellectualism about Western monoculture but also. I'm not NOT saying that. I work in academia. I see it in both students and colleagues. Sometimes to discuss things we DO need jargon and theory and sometimes we DO need to put it some intellectual effort. (And mind you! This isn't a difficult to read theory heavy book at all. I think people are perhaps just. I shan't say dumb. But lazy).

I'm not very far in but ... Did the negative reviews actually read the book (or the intro) and understand that it's a series of essays and not a literal how to book directed at a general audience. Yes OFC it's 'for the intelligentsia' it's an academic examination of the eocnomy of attention. Nevermind the fact that it's not actually hard to read/understand, people simply just don't like putting in the effort
