Look at worldwide IQ.

On the ADHD: My 27 yo son has recently opened himself up to the understanding that he has ADHD. It has been an evolution for him that has allowed him to understand that he is not the "loser" he thought he was. He was constantly questioning why he struggled with some basic tasks, and now he is more accepting of himself and allowing some grace. It has been life changing to eliminate the negative self-talk.

That's awesome to hear. I hope he finds a great path that works for him moving forward. Everyone's different, even among those with ADHD. And while I'm not sure if you've played many video games before, I'll mention a video game analogy to ADHD, that an old friend once told me. The way he described his ADHD was like an inherent modifier on his person, that most didn't really have: "Deal 2x the damage, receive 2x the damage." I'm not much of a gamer myself, but the point was that his ADHD wasn't necessarily good or bad. That weakness may be 2x as difficult to deal with, and it can be hard to make any progress without getting a better handle on it. One may get a slower start, and end up "falling behind" as a result, maybe even far more than what you feel should be the case, just like he did through high school and somewhat beyond. When he started to figure himself out, it was like he performed 2x as well at everything he approached. Doesn't mean things weren't messier than most, but at a glance, he'd seem like he was "lucky" or simply "gifted." He wasn't. His mind just operated a lil differently, and while he once despised this, he now wouldn't have it any other way. I'm still working my way towards feeling the same, and I hope I'm getting there, in whichever form that may take for me. And the same for your son, in whichever form it may take for him.

Therefore, no one can be trusted. Congradulations on that. Mission achieved Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and every administration starting with Ronald Reagan.

However, he is a religious human and takes a hard bias stance in some (not all) cases. He’s been vocal against and for trump for example, pro and against many other issues. It’s not as clean cut to suggest he simply wouldn’t change his mind. As if it’s set in stone. I think he’d agree. But would he change from right (or centre right or libertarian) to left? Absolutely not. There’s nuance missing from destinys argument. That was MY point. That you missed.

For the ADHD stuff, since we can't fully figure out the brain. If you appear 'normal' then people think you have no defects whatsoever. People really only believe in stuff that is obvious like Schizo, Diabetes, Seizures. For some reason, we just become hyper-skeptical to anything we can't see since internal experience is subjective.

Also, "we should become hyper-skeptical to anything we can't see", as in, we should be skeptical and not believe it until it's demonstrated to us beyond reasonable doubt and educate ourselves on what demonstrate and beyond reasonable doubt mean. Only then we should believe things, before that it's "I don't know". For example, I. Ask me if I believe in ADHD. I don't know enough about the problem to answer that I know for a fact, but I believe in it, because I trust the doctors, same as I believe in cancer, but I haven't seen those myself, but there's enough evidence for me to believe that they're true.

Get out of your echo chamber.

This is one of the few occasions I had to change the speed to 0.75 because I found Destiny’s speech almost incoherently fast. I’m not surprised he eventually went to see someone and was prescribed medication, he seems wound up like a spring. I also thought it was positive that he admitted advising people to cut off toxic parents was wrong. Each person’s family is unique and it’s incredibly difficult to advise even your closest friends on matters like these. Podcasts on ‘values’ have to tread very carefully. I feel like Chris walks this tightrope very well. His good friend Alex O’Connor is also very good at negotiating the pitfalls of modern values and the debates concerning them.

I agree we’ve reached an impasse as far as working with out-groups. I for one am happy about this as we were never meant to all “get along”. May the most ferocious win.

The 'team sports' "either you're with us or against us" shit has literally driven me so far off the edge of online politics that I don't even bother anymore.

@jasonwrner

The needle will not be shifting back to a more reasonable place any time soon. At least not without hell on earth being unleashed first. Truly I mean that because if things go that bad....more accurately when things do go that bad. There will be nowhere to hide or shelter either alone or with family and friends. The more people in your group the more likely you are to be targeted. A war now would be everywhere simultaneously and it will be ultra violent compared to what we've "seen" so far. For one thing, we've almost reached the point where they no longer need any of us left alive to do their work. That's what we know, so more than likely they've already reached that point and surpassed it. You're right though, to a point, society does behave as a pendulum most of the time. Things get pushed too far and then eventually there is a pullback, a correction. However, there are also extreme cases when the pullback is consistently deficient to correct the initial tangent. This is exactly what we've seen over the last 15-25 years. When this happens think of the pendulum of a clock, now imagine that clock is sitting in a canoe and a 300lb unathletic asthmatic is attempting to haul himself up and back into the canoe. He just keeps pulling down and down and down never letting up, which buries the pendulum far to one side. Everyone knows how that story is going to end. Eventually that grandfather clock is gonna tip all the way over, smack chubby Michael Phelps on the head, render him unconscious and he's going to drown. Have no fear, society is actually the canoe, the people alive today, yeah they're actually the fat guy, they're fkd. But the canoe will float away, probably get knocked around in the stream a little and eventually either turn upright or find it's way to shore. Unless there's a massive waterfall.

On ADHD. For any parents who feel like Destiny did, thinking because their kid can focus on video games he must not qualify as ADHD. ADHD is not the inability to pay attention. It is a deficient ability to DIRECT your attention where you want it to go. It is more difficult for an ADHD person to direct their attention toward something that is low stimulation (homework+hygiene). It is also more difficult for an ADHD person to direct their attention away from something that is high stimulation (videogames).

At the moment for me, Destiny is the most interesting and complex characters on the Social Medias. He's obviously highly intelligent and his thoughts and ideas are quite vast and diverse. He came from a very different background than myself so it's cool to see how he sees his world. I do see a few things where he is terribly misinformed and it's very frustrating to see someone that smart say such dumb things and have 100% confidence in the statements. Very interesting dude, thanks for having him on. It's good for us to see differing viewpoints then we have a better understanding on how the other side thinks so we can best communicate with them on that level to hopefully bridge the gap of understanding.

I think it’s too much.

Destiny is correct that with complexity comes more ability to insert bullshit explanations from outside like wild conspiracies, but the flipside of that is that complex organisations also hide information from within as well. That is members in large heirarchies lose direct contact with the costs of their actions and will have an incentive to reap benefits that push risks onto others, while obscured by the complexity. Actual conspiracies, corruption, incompetence, and moral hazards are therefore all bound to increase with the scale.

I'll preface with I'm not the most supportive of Destiny. In the long run, he has proven, for me, to be an overly confident ideologue himself. He can talk his way around most criticism and chooses to castigate views unapproving of his own (specifically anti-establishment perspectives), all while really providing nothing more than standard/stale status quo line talking points and "I'll have to look into that" without the intention of ever really doing so. Not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, he is a great debater and most can agree with the more rational points he makes. The autistic charm cannot outweigh the burden of moralistic integrity -- which is lacking when taken as a whole, over the course of giving him attention.

Destiny's got a pretty good point about college.

College is also a really good place to meet people and learn how to socialize. Nothing wrong with great community colleges or trade schools either.
