  • ADHD diagnosis doesn’t automatically mean stimulants. I think this post is about diagnosis. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 27 years old.

    I had good grades. I somewhat succeeded in my job. But it absolutely tore me apart without even knowing it. I ended up with depression and severe anxiety. Drugs or no drugs, it would have helped me so much to know there are neurotical reasons for why I always felt like something was wrong. That my world is different from other people’s. Psychotherapy alone does wonders.

    Also, ADHD meds (if dosed and used correctly) just raise certain neurotransmitters to a regular level. They are mind altering in the sense that they make your brain function as intended. Doing that may not always be necessary, but they’re not like recreational drugs.







  • You do realize that the scale of that graph on your source is not at all linear? We see rapid changes in temperature over the last 150 years. That timescale is nothing compared to the millions of years it usually takes for a +2 degrees change in climate.
    We also know exactly how CO2, Methane and other gasses cause our planet to heat up. That mechanism has been a proven fact for many many decades now and it’s easily verifiable.

    Today’s humans (homo sapien) have existed for about 200000 years, about 10000 years of that we started to settle down in towns and villages. All that time, changes in climate were slow and not intense. Only 200-150 years ago we started to produce climate gas on a big scale and suddenly, temperatures explode. What is happening right now is clearly not a natural cycle. It is entirely caused by human action.
