  • The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?




  • I love jay as a creator but he gets things wrong on occasion. Example: he recently made a video suggesting that everyone running nvidia on windows use software to force rebar on globally, which is KNOWN to break games or cause performance issues (which is why it isn’t enabled globally in the first place.) At the end of the day he is still a creator driven by the algorithm and metrics for his livelihood so you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt.

    If someone needs to be overly organized I would be more likely to assume they are just on the ASD now, but I definitely remember people joking about OCD like you’re saying. I have AuDHD (high functioning autism and ADHD) but that wasn’t in the DSM until like 2014, so as a kid I just got the ADHD diagnosis. Now it makes so much more sense why I feel like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde sometimes. My autistic traits desire organization and cleanliness but my ADHD is good at “filtering” the mess out until it gets REALLY bad. Then I go into a cleaning frenzy ala old lady Sophie trying to clean Howl’s castle. Sadly I don’t have the grit of Sophie so I end up getting burnt out and being unable to clean anything for two months.


  • You might have gotten in before they added the H lol. My diagnosis in the early 90s was called just ADD. They hadn’t added the “hyperactive” part yet. The name does it a disservice though because it isn’t an attention deficit, it is in fact the exact opposite. I have too much attention - I just can’t always pick where that attention goes.
