This looks really good. Going to add it to my list.
It reminds me of one of my favorite books of philosophy from the past few years “The World Beyond Your Head” by Matthew Crawford. He looks at the crisis of attention and identity in modernity and places it as a result of certain epistemological assumptions from the Enlightenment. Much of his argument for fixing this rests on how traditional knowledge and craft knowledge works.
