Interestingly, if you try to force yourself to read the book from cover to cover, and you find it painful and dreary and you have to FORCE yourself to read every single page, that's a pretty good simulation of what ADHD feels like when doin

I think one of the key points is that the event's way of functioning (or DNA as the source puts it) gives rise to a certain set of key principles that "make" a specific event part of the family of events. If a rule isn't applicable because

This is similar to videogames resale (Another area under heavy attack by the publishing industry). If a title is middling, but not great, people will still buy it, and hope to sell it for cash or store credit once "done". They will experim

Aww man! I missed this when it happened. I can be dismissive of Arduino-based timing projects, driven in part by cherished memories of making LEDs blink and speakers chirp annoying through use of a 555. RIP Hans.

I don't think "sometimes" covers it. Almost every medium to large enterprise I've come across considered some/all aspects of their custom software solutions to be a business advantage, even when they weren't applicable to their customers a

Yes. We absolutely do. There are so many companies that don't treat employees as adults that many employees believe that it's normal, worthwhile behavior. My first two corporate jobs not only treated their staff like children, they treate

Aww, you saw through my veil of mystery:P I was just curious to see if games are more addictive for you personally then other "common" addictive activities. I wonder if it's because games and TV have something in common that the other acti

Out of curiosity, have you been to a gambling environment? Did you find it hard to eat and drink there? Do you play board games with a similar intensity? What about marathon TV shows, do you wait until the end of an episode (or story arc)

Evil comes when the user is expected to lose significant amounts of something for no return. Tobacco companies expect you to lose years of your life, tens of thousands of dollars and return you yellowing teeth and nails, smelling bad and le

Vocational education is similarly maligned in Australia, but for a very real reason: It's terribly implemented. There is a big push for all training of any type to be delivered by a TAFE (Technical and Further Education) institute. Scouts

I guess that doesn't bode well for people with attentional problems. Or, from another perspective, if you have ADHD you need to be really fanatical about solving your core problem so you hyperfocus on it, otherwise you're going to be rui

Perhaps this would be a good point to discuss how to keep the idea "Sexy" enough to have payoff. I agree with you, incidentally, but if you want to have lasting social effect AND it's going to take time, there needs to be something to keep
