Yes.

The amount of nonstop information and content and engagement that we have access to is mind blowing.

The fact that you can't even watch the final credits on a movie at home, you can't watch them.

You just watch this whole movie.

And as the credits are going down and you're in the beginning, it's showing you the next movie.

You can't even come down off the one movie you were watching before you're like going into the next movie and then click now to watch now.

And then it's just nonstop.

And so it is creating, it's not creating ADHD.

So I need to say that very clearly.

It is not because we're born with ADHD.

Our brains naturally have lower levels of dopamine, whether it's because we have less or because whether it's because less is absorbed.

We don't know, but we have less dopamine, period.

Now, that's ADHD.

But the fact is that a lot of people have ADHD symptoms, right?

Just because we are habitually wiring ourselves right now to need constant engagement and stimulus.

And so when there's like a moment of quiet, we don't know what to do.

Something's missing.

Something's missing.

And so like we look for something and it's usually, again, not a good thing.

It's another movie or another game or another relationship or another drug or whatever you want to fill it with.
