We didn’t fully ban them. We just prescribe them to anyone a doctor decides has ADHD.

Not quite, but if one does not have ADHD or something similar, things like adderall have a very different effect than they do to someone who has ADHD.

Your apparent disbelief in ADHD doesn’t make it imaginary, by the way. Consider yourself lucky that you do not have it; I am unemployable without medication.

People without ADHD take adderall &etc for focus/performance enhancing reasons. Some get it from a friend, some are incorrectly diagnosed. I don't know if you disagree that this is the case, but I don't think it implies anything about ADHD.

I have ADHD. It doesn’t change the fact that people feign ADHD in order to get access to amphetamines.

Don't forget the military. Go pills.

No. What would be illogical is to assume that because Russia might be motivated to protest for the sake of propaganda, that it is not also, or instead, motivated by not wanting to lose access to a hypothetical backdoor.

Even if you solve for immortality, that wouldn’t mean you will have solved all of the medical ills of humanity.

We might be able to “cheat death” within our lifetimes.

A good apology includes taking responsibility for the negative outcomes you’ve caused as well as how you’ve made changes to ensure the harm doesn’t occur again. Here, you have the latter but not the former. He also didn’t explicitly apologize.

I don't see either element, how is continuing to do such a great job you lead the industry a change that could have a new outcome?

One may presume industry will get better and force maintaining an industry leading result to become an adequate result to address the problem, but that is still leaving the impetus of any change to an outside force.

Officers aren’t required to take the ASVAB. Scores affect available career field choices for enlisted soldiers.

No, I was being light-hearted, but "taking detailed notes about every poop" is the essence of what made the 4 crop system different. His focus on different kinds of poop lead to his focus on turnips, which is what made his system unique. Turnips, poop, crops: a revolution. I didn't think any level of detail was necessary since it was a light-hearted but good example of what the title mentions: "New industries come from crazy people."

I believe their claim is that a particular way of using fertilizer came from Townshend.

Yet it isn't explained anywhere in his comments what this "particular way" exactly is. I guess it's supposed to be common knowledge, but I'm as clueless on that matter as the downvoted commentators in this thread are. Neither does Wikipedia on "Norfolk four-course system" (which it claims Townshend popularized, not invented) mention anything about the fertilizer, simply claiming that inclusion of a turnip as the fodder crop allowed livestock to be bred year-round.

Why is it nice? Is it that you're used to seeing it and its absence feels wrong? Wouldn't you become accustomed to its absence with exposure? I've found this to be the case for me.

Maybe it's like photography. I can edit a photo of a landscape to look how it looks in person, or I can edit it to look, to me, how it feels to see it in person, or edit it for some other feeling, of course.

Adding noise improves the perceived detail, which is important at low bitrates.

Well, to achieve a low bitrate, you have to fake the noise. That's the whole point of the submission.

It gives a movie texture. Compare Lord of the Rings vs. The Hobbit. Even bad (for todays standard) CGI fits perfectly vs. the clean fake looking one.

Looks like pg's account has been suspended. :/

Here's what a typical primary care physician will do: prescribe you non-stimulant ADHD medication with potentially terrible side effects and since those don't work for a lot of people, they will move on to prescribing amphetamines with terrible side effects. Most physicians receive little training in nutrition (I believe one class is standard).

You should consider reevaluating your blind faith in physicians (they were an instrumental part of the opioid crisis after all), especially when it drives you to make a dismissive comment like this in response to a benign suggestion about a dietary change that you seemingly haven't evaluated before responding. Here the individual has seen success with this approach for themselves and others and is simply sharing their experience. They're not suggesting anything extreme or dangerous.

I've been trying a ketogenic diet since listening to this episode and over the past few days have noticed an improvement in not only my ADHD symptoms, but a decrease in anxiety as well. I'm very optimistic about this, though I'm skeptical about being on keto in the long term.

I've seen similar effects with intermittent fasting combined with a whole foods plant-based diet. This will likely be my long-term strategy.
