but i don't wanna dismiss

Entering the trance like state that athletes call "the Zone" would work as well, all those theta brainwaves

it's a real issue, perhaps

what do i know

People with actual tangible ADHD have the same brain makeup as people with alzheimers. Like parts of their brain are actually dormant

So it is a real thing

I believe you

But kids who can't sit still are just kids being kids

not just kids

the youth nowadays isn't attentive enough

their brain is so overstimulated that they don't know what to focus on

there is just too much stuff to do

esp students, learn math, learn biology, learn everything

that's why i believe in minimalism, without social media or at least minimizing it, i can wholeheartedly say that it can increase your happiness

because with social media you start comparing yourself with others

"these people are doing better than me" but they share the highlights of their life, that's it

I completely agree with that

You're not gonna show people what you look like when you've been eating cheetos and watching tv for 3 days

LOL

but yeah regarding your adhd, i believe you. at the same time though, many people nowadays have adhd-like symptoms

that's my point basically

I stopped reading books cuz I had to read each page 3 times even though I looked at every word. I fucking hate it

But we're oversaturated with stimuli from the time we wake up until we go to sleep

This is just a theory but I think a lot of mental illnesses today could just be the result of some of society and social conditioning as a youth. The problem is that it can't be changed very well after a certain deadline. I don't think ADHD would fit here, but others might

I don't know why but I sometimes reread the same line of a page 3 times or I check if I turned off my computer like 3 times even though I did that 5 minutes ago

Countries who consume less processed food and don't use as much fluoride usually have higher test scores and fewer instances of mental illness

Is fluoride really that bad

Look at Japan, they subsist mostly on fresh fish

Fluoride crystalizes everything it comes in contact with

If we go onto the metaphysical aspect, the new agers say that it blocks your third eye

Your brain is made of fat, fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, most Americans I know will not eat fish

There are no coincidences

Most americans don't consume enough magnesium too

Yeah, fish taste good but most people hate the taste for some reason.

Guess shitty diets as a child make shitty tastes later.

Settlers in the center of the country only had food that they could hunt or that grew from the ground

So we got accustomed to flatter tastes

I think I fucked my T levels from a shitty childhood diet

mostly empty calories, carby food

and for optimal hormone levels you need a lot of fat

basically @ToastMcGhost is right
