Is ADHD Even Real? – Joe Rogan
In an interesting conversation with a leading expert, the radio host discusses ADHD, education and the drugging of our children
In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan experience, the comedian-turned-philosopher interviewed expert Andrew Hill about the modern ‘problem’ of ADHD. Is this a fictitious condition, invented in a cynical attempt to drug our children, or is it a real contemporary phenomena?
Hill points out that while some of us find it easy to focus our attention on one task, others struggle to keep their minds on one thing at a time. Did nature intend it to be this way? Probably. Humans are unique individuals, and we all have different skills which would have been equally important during the evolution of our species. Hunting, for example, requires a very specific focus and the ability to concentrate for long periods of time. Foraging for plant food, as Hill points out, does not require the same intense focus, but would have been just as valuable to our ancestors. So why are we so obsessed with molding our children to all be the same?
