The meme is based on the hunter vs farmers hypothesis, which defends the idea that ADHD has a lot of traits that were pretty useful before the neolithic revolution, but progressively became a disadvantage as the most productive activities for humans changed. You could make an argument that in order for people with ADHD to live their best lives, they’d have to have their home lives and workplaces adapted to work differently, which is however going to be met with resistance by an economic system that tries to make workers fit like interchangeable clogs in a machine regardless of their individual traits in the name of “efficiency”.
Wait, does that mean we’re hunters and gatherers?
We’d be like the elite “Elder” who teaches everyone to survive, but no one else really can so we inevitably have to do it all anyway
wait why does that sound so familiar
