I try to tell my wife this all the time. She has ADHD, and possibly only that, but diagnosed with and treated for generalized anxiety and depression at various points. She likes to act like I'm some kind of mentally perfect person and I should breed with someone else because our children shouldn't inherit her traits. To the contrary, I think those traits need to stay in the human gene pool. I'm extremely well adapted to a predictable, boring, overwhelmingly safe environment, but there is no guarantee the human environment will remain this way. Calling ADHD behaviors anachronistic is probably basically correct, but I think it's important to remember this doesn't mean we'll never again need them. They were adaptive in the past and may again be adaptive in the future. The important thing for humanity overall is to have a wide variety of behavioral traits so we can collectively adapt as needed when circumstances change. We do not want everyone to be perfectly adapted to the exact present moment. That's how extinctions happen.
