  Thanks for the reply, very interesting points. I still don’t see how you got the idea OP has ADHD from what they wrote and still think (know?) that it will not be a condition unless it hinders them to function based on the DSM. “A mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior…” “Mental disorders are usually associated with significant distress or disability in social, occupational, or other important activities.” “Socially deviant behavior … and conflicts that are primarily between the individual and society are not mental disorders unless the deviance or conflict results from a dysfunction in the individual.”

  We all have some traits but unless diagnosed we don’t have the condition. In my work life I see so many characteristics that are destructive in nature but viewed as normal because of culture. A lot of people still makes remarks about other women or men even if married, stop studying because they are “adults”, don’t invest money, eat like shit, don’t exercise, doomscroll tiktok and Instagram, consume way too much, etc, etc. In fact they are exactly what society wants them to be. This people perpetuate the endless cycle of the so called “progress” and are rewarded for it. OP is already ahead of the curve dreaming of escaping onto his ideal world. If you are different from that, or try to be since it is very hard you will get tribalism in return and be labeled as having a condition. If society was made from the majority of people having a condition like ADHD (it could even be a self sufficient social group within a town) it wouldn’t even be considered anything, just being normal.

  OK I’ll bite. I have the same thing the OP has and I believe most people have it as well (otherwise the world would be full of poliglots, everyone would be fit, etc). My point is you have a finite amount of energy and we want stuff but don’t wanna pay the toll for it (that is when capital takes those longings and capitalizes on them, selling magic pills. A tale as old as time itself).
  Now suppose someone knows all that all he would have to do is transcend it, but that is the difficult part.

  Now… this is why I said I will bite and I hope you have a real answer. I am trying to motivate myself to do what is right (somethings are easy others are extremely hard). Life then can become exhausting and a checklist to the point where you will get the things you wanted but will not enjoy them. Ex: Everything is in perfect order but you feel off somehow. Health is great for your age, all exams return perfect, you are a great worker which in turns returns you money that you invest because spending on plastic would be stupid (Fight Club and what not), etc, etc…

  It seems to me that in the end we have to integrate being human with being animalistic otherwise we ask ourselves to be robotic and reject our true nature…

  So… There is no right and wrong way to be so you shouldn’t diagnose people over the internet for a simple remark. Specially because we are complicated machines and it only considered a condition if it affects a person socially.

  Adam Savage has a cool one season show called “Savage Builds” (www.imdb.com/title/tt10233836/)

  I am with you. The guy above seems to treat children as the r word.
  I can say for myself that having to relearn a ton of stuff as an adult is traumatizing and I agree with you that we should teach reality no matter the age (we can tackle it from various angles but saying that teaching bollocks is ok, that is a different story).

  What is soylent red and yellow?
  Years ago youtube had videos of people making a product called soylent to replace food. From what I remember it didnt make people healthy and failed. Now searching for it apparently soylent word came from a movie about eating people? Wtf is the color part (green, red, yellow)?

  If it will be like the first it won’t be a wall of difficulty checks thrown in your way. What I liked most of Hollow Knight it was how masterly designed it was. It took you by your hand and thought every skill check you needed beforehand. You got good as you progressed. It it not frustrating as Dark Souls, it has a curve that kept increasing.

  Thank you for the reply.

  “People know so much because they take the time to learn, and it does take a lot of time and patience”.

  Off topic but I don’t think is that easy. We only have so much time… I just learned about this stuff. If I was 80 it would be game over.

  You just put me on a rabbit hole of looking at what FPGA means. Are these cheaters buying their cards already made? Learning such magic to cheat in games seems very weird.
  Is “Mister FPGA” an FPGA because it can reprogram its “internal logic” to be as the gaming chips from the consoles?
  How come people know so much? Dang here I thought being a computer wizard was one thing and you shattered my expectations

  Thanks for sharing a hidden memory of mine. It’s badass

  I did use CRT TVs and monitors, but only when very young. Man you just made me revisit a part of my brain long dormant! I loved the sweet static discharge as well, it was so f*ing rad!
