Hyperactivity and impulsivity are two of the primary characteristics of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). So Adhd is one example of hard-wiring that affects impulsivity.
- Qz 16y agoI guess what I take issue with is the use of the term 'hard-wired' as the exact causes of ADHD are not known, nor is it necessarily permanent.
- Avshalom 16y agoHuman beings are giant incestuous continuum of software firmware and hardware. "Hard-wired" in casual conversation, i.e. this forum, is a very common catch-all for "condition we can't (or think we can't) think ourselves out of." connotations, they exist.
- Qz 16y agoI know what the term means, but that doesn't make it true. The parenthetical in your statement is my point precisely; hardly 'hard-wired' if it's potentially a product of misguided thinking.
