Comment on Some people are really good at concentrating their attention. (when writing software, playing games, reading etc). It's a superpower. What are other attention superpowers?

  All of your points only have any validity if you could control what you actually hyperfocus on, which you cannot. It’s not something that you get to pick and choose what to use it on or turn it on and off at will.

  You really don’t understand what hyperfocus is from your remarks.

    You clearly fail to sympathize with the suffering of “normies”. Bound in a web of illusion. Never seeing clearly. I am shocked and appalled. :)

    Also, some can control it. The power of hyperfocus is not exclusive to ADHD. Consider the autist, the sperg, the concentration meditation enthusiast.

    The world is large and you are small. Think on that the next time you feel tempted to wallow in outrage.

      Stop fetishizing illnesses. It’s not healthy.
