Found a link to “Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself and bloom” on Hacker News. It’s from Henrik Karlsson’s substack “Escaping Flatland“. It’s an attention-grabbing headline in the context of Hacker News. I suppose it does fit the bill insofar as it relates to hacking your own consciousness.

There are so many things to pay attention to and experience.

I feel this deeply, and experience it constantly. It is easy to chase these things all day long (and easier still in the night, when the responsibilities of the day have passed).

Allowing tendrils of attention to spread, fastening to the next thing and releasing the last, and then another, and another is a forward-feeling momentum that only feels like productive engagement.

Be sure to direct your attention to the footnotes as well.
