Just to offer another perspective here - I had an older brother who was recommended ADHD meds by his teachers due to his inability to focus and him exhibiting erratic behavior in class. We didn't listen. He died last year in a snow bank, homeless, after never holding down a single job for more than three months. He was in his early thirties.

Sometimes a broken clock is right. Our formlessness is a rebellion against the false dichotomy of the political left and right. It's a strength, and we need to stay vigilant to ensure we don't fall into more.

People who actually have (especially severe) ADHD are helped by the pills believe it or not. ADHD is just over diagnosed as all hell because school teachers do a lot of it and doctors don’t question them. We can all agree that it’s totally normal for a 10 year old boy to not be able to sit still behind a desk for 7 hours a day without moving, but teachers and the pharmaceutical industry don’t know that.
