as someone who is not a fan of Facebook but uses, I've got to admit I noticed they did something and I've been using the site more recently, and that it's better recently.
Mainly, I've increased the number of news sites I 'like' and I'm getting my news much more through FB recently, I already used to 'unfollow' people who post worthless stuff frequently, so I'd guess my Timeline is at a good 'configuration'
I've been tuning down my consumption of mainstream media greatly and have been following more `real`, `credible` journalism, as well as more 'community' content e.g.: friends bands, friends projects, local initiatives, fun/comedy pages that refutes backward thinking and political discussions relevant to my area of the world, this is also making me less engaged in, for example, Hacker News because I'm becoming less interested in US matters etc, so, I've got to say that my views on the Bad of Facebook are softening and I'm seeing some Good, although it feels a bit weird to say this :)
Obviously it's not all flowers tho, as much as I may be getting 'bubbled', the same people that have views that I see as backwards are probably getting their own confirmation-bias version...
Nobody is forcing you or anyone to agree with this, nobody is coming for anyone, it's just a statement and a call for whoever agrees to join and make the statement louder. You can absolute ignore it!
This right-wing victimization syndrome trips me out.
Is `educated worker` some kind of euphemism for genius/top of the game or something? I am an educated worker, and probably everyone else around here.. Seems like a bit-too-broad statement(I for one am not currently interested in immigrating not one bit)
Anyway, I always thought the best would want to move to the US because it's there's top work, e.g.: there's no Tesla or SpaceX elsewhere and a top engineer would probably want to be doing this kind of work... Same with scientists that are working on ambitious research. But maybe I'm thinking about H1b as more of `top of the top, get your asses here` and it's more like `ye you're skilled enough you can try`, dunno.
Ok, so ergot poisoning is comparable to `being a child`? I conclude you think of `being a child` and it's symptoms negative but science just haven't caught up to prove that `being a child` is actually a manifestation of some serious shit going on inwards yet, I'm with you.
Watch out for the downvotes bomb, this is real taboo topic these days...
But yeah, I'm with you, I'm yet to find any convincing evidence ADHD exists and I think the consequences of this unscientific+dogma approach is a damn tragedy. All the pain and suffering that it causes, the pressure and agony parents go through because, obviously, they want the best for their child, this is not quantified(I bet the money is though)
I'm curious to what will history say about this.
I was a problem child and it makes me cringe that I could have been put on this kind of shit since young, it's absurd.
People diagnosed with ADHD are three times more likely to be in a car accident. 56& of people diagnosed with adhd who are untreated have substance abuse problems.
Either ADHD is real, or psychologists have found the world's best car insurance filter.
Then there is evidence of structural brain differences,
I've seen multiple adults who grew up in previous generations where ADHD was just "being lazy" who have spent their entire life depressed, knowing that they never lived up to their potential because they quite literally could not focus.
It isn't a lack of willpower, it is a physical lack of ability. The fact that the physical lacking is in a missing neurotransmitter doesn't make it any less real.
