When "nothing" is happening, I am 10 times more sensitive to the "nothing". Im overstimulated by the lights, sounds, noises, questions, glance, people, activity, everything.

When a stressful situation is going on, my brain is entirely focused on that. Nothing else, just the situation. All the things I was overstimulated by, cant bother me at all anymore, and my head gets completely clear, Im high alert and focused, trying to assess the stressful situation.

As children they developed in an overstimulated environment with technology and distractions. They've maladaptively adjusted to their environment by developing skills for task switching. It's not ADHD, it's basically retardation. Never met an ADHDtard who was legitimately over 130IQ. They're all undisciplined brats, which makes complete sense since their parents gave them electronics and ignored them during their formative years.

Normies constantly have a tight radar lock on any target they want. They can just automagically do that, the only requirement being that the number of equiimportant targets don't exceed some number.

Note that "radar" is a metaphor for attention and conscientiousness.

ADHDers can also have a tight radar lock on something. But mostly, it's just uselessly spinning. That fishing boat? Not important. That surfacing whale in that direction? Nah. That orange buoy? Nope. Still not an enemy combatant vessel.
The normie, in contrast, finds the orange buoy extremely interesting and he can direct his attention on it if he wants so. The ADHDer almost can't. He never gets to use the tight radar, so it's collecting dust. The normie gets a lot of mileage out of the tight radar, which is why it's not collecting dust. It gets used every day.

Now if the ocean is littered with enemy vessels and the radar shows a ton of dots on the screen, the ADHD becomes "engaged". It's only now that he can work. He can put the tight radar to use. Yes, sure, *ideally* the ADHD could also use the tight radar outside extreme situations, but he simply *can't*.

The normie is overwhelmed because he is calibrated for a much lower "interestingness/pertinence" sensitivity.


This is the actual current scientific consensus, but explained as a metaphor. Ask ChatGPT.

The standard treatment for ADHD is amphetamines, and amphetamines are just artificial adrenaline.
Adrenaline is the natural cure for ADHD.

The external environment itself is irrelevant. What matters is how stimulated the brain is. From on iPad they get more stimulation than our ancestors did from miles of nothingness. Camping is existentially boring compared to the dopamine rush iPad games give you.

I think they've had like 10 seasons now. The other thing I always notice is half the people starve themselves and have to get taken out for being anorexic and refusing to eat their food caches.

Doesnt add up for me at least. Grew up on a farm until 15 and didn't have a computer or TV until 16. Had severe symptoms from roughly age 5.

The why part is hard to say exactly but most likely because their attention is more evenly spread out across things in their visual field and the neurochemical rewards aren't the same. I have adhd and researched a lot on top of studying my own behavior. Most likely there was a selectional advantage by being more hyperactive, seeking novelty (boredom), unfazed by low level distractions, exploring, discovering etc. The tribe benefits from one or several hyperactive individuals while the rest are satisfied making things cozy and planning ahead.
