Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Writing and researching some stuff on ADHD took me to Thom Hartmann's website. I could spend a week there just reading. Thom has some interesting ideas about what he calls " the Edison gene " . His idea is that ADHD people are more like hunters, and they are being forced to behave like farmers. (My reaction to this is the same as Gabor Mate, who wonders how an inability to sit still and throw a ball can possibly be good for a hunter.) I do agree with Thom that the disability to fit into the box goes with an ability to think outside of the box. Since the box is killing us and the planet that is good. Thom is also a passionate environmentalist and an original thinker. This link goes to a haunting Sci-Fi story about the dangers of GM.
