Small children are easily distracted. Adults relearn this by hanging around them, such as coaching or umpiring Little League games.
Adults generally grow out of distractions. But not always.
“You can fool some of the people all of the time. And you can fool all of the people some of the time. But you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,” Abraham Lincoln famously said.
This is true even though adults in modern times have something in their lives that comes between them and their squirrels, their distractions. The filter for adults is the corporate media. The corporate media is so loud and so relentless, it never stops and never seems to shut off. They broadcast squirrels shamelessly (so long as they make money from it, at least).
Even so, you can still fool some people all of the time of course, and you can still fool all of the people some of the time, it’s just easier now.
But you still cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
Not now. Not ever.
