If Gen Z/Gen A are less cognitively capable, it's a reflection on the adults in their lives who failed them, and more importantly collectively society has failed them.

Favourite thing I ever see is people saying they won't play video games with AI. (I understand the sentiment and context, but AI is what is referred to that controls most NPCs in games).

Having to defend keeping a hugely unpopular policy when your opponent has never stopped shooting themselves in the foot is truly the sort of political nous I have come to expect from the centre-left. Running defence for... the National party.

Realising the company I work for appears to be far more highly ethical than a lot in our industry. Wild to me that people are assessed and diagnosed for ADHD without any psycho education as part of the process. Seems borderline negligent to me.

Nothing frustrates me more than when people talk about how they become "addicted" to medication because when they stop taking it they are not able to function as well. [Not talking about legitimate abuse but the idea that functionality = addiction] If that is the case, I am addicted to glasses.

Legit people who complain about the consequences of their own bad actions are the most insufferable people. "I did a bad thing and people were mean to me, and it was so hard to deal with" If only there was a way to not have that feeling.

Adversarial politics is such a terrible concept, and you can see how it doesn't work, because under MMP the centre could be most represented by a Labour/National coalition who usually would be able to govern with those two parties, but compete for a lot of the same voters with slightly diff policies

Larger tonic pupil sizes and astigmatism are both more highly correlated in ADHD and Autism, and I think may in part explain some of the photophobia (light sensitivity) issues that are common within ADHD. Hypermobility could help to explain these as collagen structures would be more fragile.

Part of me does wonder if the reduced interoception found in ADHD and Autism frequently could be the result of being gaslit about your sensory concerns from a young age, where you learn to ignore your body's own signals.
