what you believe are the distractions, and what they are intended to distract us from.

One problem is that for every single thing this guy says, someone will argue that it's a distraction from something else. So it's a big meaningless circle jerk and it doesn't solve the problem of "What are we supposed to pay attention to?" if we are always supposed to be engaged? That implies we should pay attention to everything he says and--as we have been told umpteen times--take it seriously.
