Sure there are infinitely more people who suffer from this than people who benefit.

But people have a limited amount of energy to do things or even think. I believe with people who actually have to work for a living, most of the energy goes towards immediate necessities: the daily tasks, working, getting food on the table, paying bills etc. A huge amount of energy and even time is consumed by stress alone that results from living like this. The tiny amount of energy and time people have for passions and socialising are probably spent on those or resting, or just escapism.

How can people living and feeling like this actually change things ? I’d assume massive systemic change needs consistent mass movements.

People would need to have time and energy to think and act. We’d also need willingness to do those things. It feels like not thinking and not acting consumes less energy and time, and therefore is the more likely choice.

If it is possible to change things for the better for the vast majority of people, why aren’t they changing ?

I don’t think the anytype apps are foss.

I don’t think that’s the premise of this post. I think the post is talking about people struggling with adhd, who’s symptoms & struggling are being ignored just because they’ve somehow managed to keep up good grades.

They might also be “gifted” which helps with getting good grades up until some point when it all falls down, as it all just is too much. Also the responsibility and work on other areas of life start requiring the limited capacity to focus and execute necessary home upkeeping, studying & all the other things in life.

Getting the needed medication or even just the diagnosis and the understanding of oneself that comes with it can save a person from a lot of unnessecary suffering.

In my opinion life not being 100% free of inner conflict vs life being full of it are very different things.

The goal being inner peace doesn’t mean that one thinks absolute inner peace is possible. At least I tend to reach a bit higher than what I’m only happy with.

Some might, but many do not. Constantly burning out, knowing that you’re underachiving (even if other do not see it) and struggling with handling it all can and does make people end up depressed, extremely anxious and even suicidal. If one doesn’t get the help they need, many doors can close even permanently.

Some people really need the medicine to function.
