Time is the scarcest resource and all other scarcities derive from that. No one knows how much time they have. I can tell you how long someone like you could live but I can’t tell you how long you’ll live.
Lack of attention is recognition that time is finite. With infinite time you could get infinitely distracted and it would have no impact. Same goes for bandwidth, etc. You’re feeling the second and third order impacts of Time.
We are all drawing from a bank of unknown depths.
