The ex-Google strategist who built the metrics system for the company\u2019s global search advertising business, has had a front-row view of an industry he describes as the \u201clargest, most standardized and most centralized form of attentional control in human history\u201d.<br \/>\nIn a journey that has led him to question whether democracy can survive the new technological age he went on to say,<br \/>\n\u201cEighty-seven percent of people wake up and go to sleep with their smartphones. The entire world now has a new prism through which to understand politics.<br \/>\nThe dynamics of the attention economy are structurally set up to undermine the human will. If politics is an expression of our human will, on individual and collective levels, then the attention economy is directly undermining the assumptions that democracy rests on. If Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat are gradually chipping away at our ability to control our own minds, could there come a point, I ask, at which democracy no longer functions?<br \/>\nWill we be able to recognize it, if and when it happens? And if we can\u2019t, then how do we know it hasn\u2019t happened already?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Court-Painter-Digital-end-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Court-Painter-Digital-end-.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Court-Painter-Digital-end--300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allanhardingmackay.ca\/courtpainter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Court-Painter-Digital-end--768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court Painter takes drastic action with ongoing studio communications strategy after being unnerved by ex Google strategist&#8217;s public statement regarding digital communications platforms.
