Critical ignoring is the ability to choose what to ignore and where to invest one’s limited attentional capacities. Critical ignoring is more than just not paying attention – it’s about practising mindful and healthy habits in the face of information overabundance.

Without it, we will drown in a sea of information that is, at best, distracting and, at worst, misleading and harmful.
