don't understand how the counterfactual is supposed to be implemented, IMO people aren't born with ADD/ADHD

Yeah I think I meant "never get ADHD" I'm just doing a series of polls and wanted wording to be the same

It would be very, very interesting to push the button and see if the future rates actually changed. Since the qualifier is "born with ADD/ADHD", those who develop it would still exist.

Dangit I meant "ever end up with it" bit was trying to be consistent with my polls.

Michael Phelps has ADHD. Adam Levine has ADHD. Adversity is universal in life and it can also be universally used to create good things.

We don’t know much about how ADD/ADHD minds uniquely contribute to our society. Could be a net negative but somehow I doubt it.

It’s interesting how many people that don’t have it would wish it upon someone else... as someone who does have ADD I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! It’s something I can’t change about myself but it has caused me to struggle more than a normal person would in alot of ways.

I can at least see the case to be made for how homosexuality has influenced and nurtured the arts across history, but I've not seen any virtues to ADD. It seems like a curse that I am fully behind expunging if that were at all possible. Be a little more callous sometimes, folks.
