In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it

This quote is made by Herbert Simon in 1971, a psychologist and economist who first theorized the concept of attention economics. This concept came out when the current world leaders were in their youth, I believe some of them knew it very well, and some made it into use to the maximum.

On the 13th of May, Trump visits Xijingping in Beijing with a bunch of high-level business men; a week later, Putin led another group of rich guys in his country came to visit Xi as a kind of show off, like lets compare who’s closer with whom, super childish and super chauvinism. These three old guy play their game treating the rest of the world as monkeys watching by. And the result of their talks? Nothing big, nothing special, nothing benefit for you and me. Dude, it’s time to wake up. The only news good for us is the death of either three of them, anything else is their play. So at this moment I decide to stop talking about them and use my attention wisely for people I care.

On the the 7th of April Trump posted : “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to ​be brought back ​again. I don’t want that ‌to happen, but it probably will. We will find out tonight, one of ​the most important ​moments in the long and complex history of the ​World.”

A lot of people were shocked by this blatant threat. But anyone with intelligence can tell by the text how desperate he is, which means the United States couldn’t get rid of this deepshit fast as they expected. Every American is paying for the bombs on the land of Iran, whereas no European allies want to get involved. The blockage of the strait of Hormuz is purposefully made and now we’re in a game called “lets see who can hold the breath longer” Small countries panic first, such as south korea and philippine.

Coincidentally one of my American friends sent me the News of BBC sth like Europe has maybe six weeks of jet fuel left. And She did actually change the plan and fly back to the states earlier before all the flights were cancelled as she imagined. What seems more ridiculous is that Trump continued his show singled-sidedly announcing the war in Iran was over and then expected the world to blindly follow his imagination. It reminds me of the folktale The emperor’s new clothes in every facet. In reality, we all know what happens now, and the US asked for it.

What can I say, the fire is lighted up. And the tension is simmering in every corner. On the 24th of April, a Japanese self-defense officer broke into the Embassy of China in Tokyo through the wall with a knife, he claimed that he wanted to stop China’s aggressive propaganda towards Japan, quote “remain from hardline statements” and saying he would kill himself with the knife if the ambassador refused his opinion.

On the first day of March, the world woke up immediately drown into the news of the death of Ali Khamenei and US attack on Iran. Trump continued wielding his knife and stabbed the people of his same kind from the back with smug. Obviously he didn’t realize that it’s easy to start it but hard to end like his crisp Venezela blitz. Personally, I shared the joy with my Iranian friend who’s living abroad, but I understand the people inside her country probably hold a more complicated feeling and more pragmatical concerns. So you may wonder what’s China’s attitudes? In sum, china can provide money to the current Iranian regime, but not military protection. As the world knows, China is the biggest buyer for Iranian oil, and indeed China financially benefits a lot due to American sanction to Iran. If you were China, why on earth would you give it up? Dude, you can think by your toe. Even a dumbass can do a correct math here. So, China will continue doing this business as long as it’s making profit. Again, who else won’t ? Trump’s attack made a huge cost from America’s budget, I wonder how long can he even the number on his accounting book as the war drags on.
