🤔🤯🫡 🚨 ADHD is not a disorder It's a phenotype It means you have OG genetics People with ADHD were the elite hunters and gatherers ADHD is only seen as a "disorder" when you're born in modern times and forced to live an unnatural lifestyle in an unnatural environment Of course, it's going to be seen as a disorder when you put a kid in a chair for 8 hours a day and force them to study useless shit ADHD genetics are meant for a lifestyle of constant movement The hyperfocus allowed us to craft advanced tools and track prey Highly dopaminergic activities Reading propaganda/useless info from textbooks is not The ability to task switch allowed us to respond to threats quickly The "impulsivity" allowed us to take big risks that paid off for generations The desire for constant novelty comes with creative superpowers The result? Constant innovation and invention ADHDers and Autists (they deserve their own post) have invented all the technologies you use every day The people with average IQs and no "disorders" aren't the ones changing the world Spicy take: average IQ + zero mental "disorders" = peasant genetics :) My advice if you have real ADHD, and aren't one of the 90%+ people who were misdiagnosed so doctors can sell you amphetamines: - You will never feel fulfilled or reach your full potential living an average life - You aren't meant to rot in a cubicle - You need to find what your talents are and use those to generate income - It's even more important for you to spend time in nature and move away from cities Don't feel bad if you're imprisoned by a W2 You leave any time and move to a cheap rural area or become a passport bro if you aren't financially independent https://image.nostr.build/fb4bb337c80bc70030ac394398def86d077e34c2661625ba61c4a097d1e5fe50.jpg
