Summary

We’re talking about what it’s really like to live in an ADHD brain—one that doesn’t always prioritize the way the world expects it to. It’s not laziness. It’s not incompetence. It’s just a different operating system. AI might be trying to recreate “standard brains,” but it can’t replicate the messy, out-of-order, last-minute, lightning-in-a-bottle brains. Those are the ones that will change the world. Value the people who don’t fit the mold. Life would be boring without them.
