Laziness is a myth

Exactly, nice to see someone else has seen the truth. The Protestant Work Ethic is poison.

I’m not lazy, it’s society that’s manically hyperactive.
You know… I meant that as a sort of joke, but it actually isn’t too far from the truth. Some manic-obsessive individuals set the tone, and some places are worse than others, South Korea being most famous for it.
Dang, that’s where I live. 😱
How’s life in south Korea? Is what people say true?
It’s lile that ozinger game but more subtle.
ozinger?
Oof sorry, I meant squid game.
Does this mean people in South Korea are being put through strange and narrowly limited rules set of tasks for the entertainment of the masses?
Nah, not for the entertainment of masses. They are put into extreme competition just to live, though. Like, “someone must die for you to live well”.
There’s a reason tech workers and college students in demanding degrees are all on Adderall (aka amphetamines).
This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.
If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.
A number of clinical trials have shown improved academic and occupational cognitive performance using psychostimulants in therapeutic doses. This includes improved inhibitory control, memory recall, and awakefulness. Some studies have even shown a measurable (4-5 points) increase in performance when taking an IQ test.
Adderall?
This brought to the surface a panic disorder that took quite some time to resolve.
Too much makes my anxiety noticeably worse. But the right amount is like a miracle pill for my “laziness”.
Meth for the discerning enthusiast
Believe it or not, silly jokes like that contribute to a stigma that drives people away from the most effective known treatment for ADHD.
Edit: And despite what some might say, ADHD is actually vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated compared to its actual prevalence in the population.
Believe it or not, I have ADHD and am aware of stigmatization of stimulant medications. I don’t need to be coached on how to make light hearted jokes about amphetamines on the Internet
I’m curious, do you disagree that your joke could contribute to the stigma or do you just don’t care?
I went into that joke without ADHD or it’s related stigmatization in mind. I viewed “Adderall?” as more in the context of recreational use be it partying or something like cramming for a test. There wasn’t a previous dialogue about ADHD established so it never entered my mind that that’s how people would view it. I wouldn’t make that joke in that context as it is insensitive. However, that wasn’t the situation and I still don’t really see my comment as insensitive or reinforcing stereotypes/stigmatization of ADHD. It’s not that I don’t care, I just disagree with the interpretation of my comment in that way
