Not me. I'm omnipotent. I can pay attention to ignoring everything at once.

Ever tried to play a difficult video game while also baking a batch of cookies and discussing Christmas plans with your parents?

You see how it works.

When you think you're paying attention to more than one thing at a time you're actually not paying attention to anything.
