Glad you're seeing an improvement in your DC's executive function.


Oh man, I love that whole framing ADHD as you’re supposed to be a hunter, that is some major copium for your disability, to cosplay a warrior ethos. It doesn’t make any sense, because hunting takes a lot of focus and patience, and if you get distracted, you become the meal.


They are "distracted" or often appear absent minded because they can hyper focus on one thing they are interested in.

I don't know anything about this theory, but people with ADHD can focus on what they are interested in, it is just generally not the BS of the traditional schooling paradigm.

A website called "Hunter in a Farmer's World" sounds like redpill stuff.

I agree with this article. Maybe an unintended consequence of AI: general artificial intelligence may never be realized, but it helps the distracted to shine in the era of AI.
I've seen a huge improvement in DC's executive function ever since GPT is introduced.
