    44 here. Technically I was diagnosed with “ADD” (the H was added later) back in 1988 or so. My parents were of the mind that kids in general have a lot of energy and little attention and kept me off of Ritalin as a result.

    Ya know what? I get the sense that this supposed malady is being diagnosed in sufficient numbers that it’s just the standard state of a huge percentage of humanity. Frankly, I don’t think we evolved to squat in cubicles and stare at screens all day long.

    Hypothesis here: Unnaturally focused attention is an unhealthy mutation that only benefits those who exploit them.
