when I think about ADHD as modern civilisational disease, I can't find better reference than Johny Mnemonic and that lady who needed jabs from a black doc because she could not handle emotions not keep her hand without shaking and they explained it very well.. "nobody understands it.. but it came with the moment we stopped being able to consume all the information that was bombarding us" sort of as quasi quotation (I don't really remember it word by word, but I do believe that was the explanation)
Today we don't need sci-fi/cyberpunk movies/books to actually have that as properly diagnosed biological/psychological problem, not many know how to deal with unless you get prescriptions for soft-amphetamine variance given as a medicine so one can kill extra thoughts running crazy inside or... go mental and/or depressed. and trust me.. I have 2 at home. so it's not that I'm judgemental.. it's just my daily routine to deal with a challenge that outside drug.. slowing down and getting offline.. actually helps equally vs. everybody believes we can be celebrities online for 72h then nobody cares... actually never cared so here comes the attention drama to 10k other thoughts, brains tells you is important.
I can assure you... all the online mess ain't helping all of you who suffer it, unless you're brilliantly intelligent people (many are) who are highly functional, considering the energy burnout that requires you to stay above the water line.
