  This is well known enough to be arguably common knowledge, but if you must: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/adhd-brain-vs-normal-brain https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/adhd-brain-vs-norm...

    i'm not particularly convinced by anything there, and certainly not by a mere bulleted "brain structure" nor the section which expounds on it. if i'm being completely honest, i'm not entirely sure what's even meant by the suggestion that ADD/ADHD is 'caused by the structure of the brain.' sentience is 'caused' by the 'structure of the brain.' and?

      > i'm not particularly convinced by anything there That's fine; I'm not trying to change your mind because you've clearly already decided you know enough facts and aren't going to listen to any new ones. I respond in discussions like this to educate undecided readers. > if i'm being completely honest, i'm not entirely sure what's even meant by the suggestion that ADD/ADHD is 'caused by the structure of the brain.' > sentience is 'caused' by the 'structure of the brain.' and? It's a direct refutation of your wrong claim "an ADD/ADHD diagnosis is not physiological", which you said a few posts back. You know what the word "physiological" means, right? You said it, so it seems like you thought it was important enough to say, but now that it looks wrong you want to say it's not important?

        get a grip. i'm obviously not going to engage with that. it was obvious that i shouldn't have even engaged you in the first place. "but if you must": https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        If you decide to stop arguing for misinformation that's entirely fine with me. The guidelines don't state that we're supposed to not disagree with misinformation, and if they did, I wouldn't comply.
