They have thinking layers, the conductor layer can tell everyone else to wait their turn when trying to coordinate a symphony. ADHD typically either has no conductor or the conductor has no arms. Or random sections have weapons grade sonar as instruments.

Edit: Neurotypicals have a conductor that still needs to be trained

Thanks I’ll give this a shot!

 

I’m not sure if this is part of the vanilla ADHD experience or if it is partially (or even mostly) the information overload landscape we now live in but:

Every time I set a serious goal such as losing a certain amount of weight or reaching a reading milestone every week, I utilize my note system to confirm it’s on my to-do list and get reminders from my calendar as well as reminders app to check in with it.

The problem is, by necessity my notes have to also be the destination for my random one-off ideas and brain dumps, not to mention being an archive for the graveyard of previous goals. The alternative is to not save this stuff at all and let a potentially good idea fly away forever. I stick to one short main digital note for the serious stuff and the literal to-do list, but in situations where either my phone or physical pad is not available I have to use the other as a temporary buffer and consolidate the notes to their correct locations later (I prefer digital thru phone for tasks and referential info and physical writing for journaling).

These temporary solutions have become the standard and I never remember where my actual goals are anymore. The calendar is okay but I’m usually out of the house when a reminder hits, and I’m definitely forgetting that by the time I get home.

I could liberate myself from this prison of my own making by forsaking every note of mine to the abyss and starting over, which sounds very spiritually attuned but I worry that I will simply create the same situation again by not addressing the root cause (my brain, forgetfulness, perfectionism, and habit structure, I could have LBS for all I know creating the brain fog in the first place as I haven’t had a blood panel in 5 years)

I could also pick one goal and stick with it in a critical disciplinary tough love sort of way until a single habit such as the gym sticks. I’ve actually done this before with the aforementioned as well as certifications for my job on a separate occasion. This tends to be my go-to, however some “emergency” usually wipes the importance I’m ascribing to the single habit such as a new debt collections letter or some car issues., making that transient situation the new active habit of militaristic focus.

By the time I get it sorted I’ve either forgotten my original goal or otherwise consider using the layover as a mulligan for something new that I now think is more important :|

So yeah these are the dilemmas, just want to know if y’all relate or want to share your own stories. Peace

I see what you mean, in my case I believe that the only viable options are debate then expulsion in extreme cases.

I know I was being somewhat brash when I wrote this (middle of the night where I am) and would likely omit the “or eliminate” part if I written again. I know that was a popular option durning the Nuremberg trials for some of the worst orchestrators but I’m always of the “We have to be better/there has to be a better way” mindset.

Two counterpoints to this (although I like the spirit):the paradox of intolerance suggests that intolerance will easily spread if we tolerate it. So in a world where tolerance is abundant: intolerance itself should still not be tolerated.

In a way I feel this may be saying the same thing again, but when we speak of protected classes and human rights we generally think of immutable qualities assigned at birth. That is, it’s not okay to discriminate based on things such as skin color, height, sound of voice, heritage, language, race, disability etc. and you get the idea.

Modern ideas stretch this a bit, as sexuality and gender identity have recently (as in within the last century, and only then within more educated cultures) entered as protected facets of human expression due to our understanding of them as involuntary. Even an individual’s personal religion is universally considered to not be up for debate, even though each of the world’s religions are composed of transient beliefs that an individual is allowed to change whether they are comfortable with it or not.

Any group’s ideas for societal idealism do not and should not get these types of protections, because ideas obviously should change if a better idea is presented. It should be agreed upon that whatever utopia is (for however close the human race can get to it), it would need to be universally agreed upon by all living individuals as well as all possible human group permutations. This is seemingly insurmountably large, so some of us tried to take shortcuts by eliminating other groups, and to make a long story short you could say the world universally condemned these ideas as one of the first “global” acts.

The point is, if somebody has:

  1. Willingly violated the social contract in defiance of available historical context and public information, and

  2. Elected to voluntarily hold that an aforementioned Protected Class of people should be either eliminated or exiled (in service to making their version of utopia easier to achieve), then

Then this somebody has found themselves to be a member of the one group of people (a group founded on voluntary belief) that society at large would be better to either eliminate or exile.

Obviously debate is preferred but one cannot reason with somebody who believes deep down in another group’s inferiority.

The most popular models used online need to include citations for everything. It can be used to automate some white collar/knowledge work but needs to be scrutinized heavily by independent thinkers when using it to try to predict trend and future events.

As always schools need to be better at teaching critical thinking, epistemology, emotional intelligence way earlier than we currently do and AI shows that rote subject matter is a dated way to learn.

When artists create art, there should be some standardized seal, signature, or verification that the artist did not use AI or used it only supplementally on the side. This would work on the honor system and just constitute a scandal if the artist is eventually outed as having faked their craft. (Think finding out the handmade furniture you bought was actually made in a Vietnamese factory. The seller should merely have their reputation tarnished.)

Overall I see AI as the next step in search engine synthesis, info just needs to be properly credited to the original researchers and verified against other sources by the user. No different than Google or Wikipedia.
