Reply to How to develop a habit of reading: Tips and Tricks by REalWaffel8806

I have ADHD and fell of the reading train. Recently I got an e-reader again and suddenly I'm reading up a storm; even books I own. I've got a physical copy of Dracula right next to me I've never got into, but now it's on a little toy I can click through it's going in easy.

I guess my tip is, make it easy for you. Whether it's audiobooks or an ereader, you don't get points for doing it like other people.

This reminds me of two early examples of evolutionary AI design (though I doubt I could find the details, these are from interviews long ago: one was a circuit board that an AI designed which looked non-fictional and that no human would have designed, but it worked. Best guess was the EM of one part was interacting with another.

The other is some guys who were trying to build the lightest possible body for a drone, and set an AI to building it. They 3D printed it and when their buddy who was a veterinarian walked in he said "hey, why do you have a flying squirrel skeleton here?" AI doing what natural selection took millions of years to, running through the iterations in milliseconds rather than generations.

Reply to comment by Edsgnat in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

I borrowed a pill as a study aid. Realised I was planning dinner for the first time in my life and started crying. Taking a pill made me realise I should get a diagnosis.
