That's good, when I'm medicated I can sink into a book without as much trouble but typically I need more stimulus to be able to focus. It's a fine line though bc too much stimulus and I'm right back into that zone you described.

Some of them remind me of the old-timey radio shows from before TV. There was one I used to listen to when we had satellite radio that was about some private investigator for an insurance firm that would go around investigating fraud and, with the way they produced it, it felt like a full on murder mystery. Good stuff.

He looks absolutely enthralled by the wall of text lol.

When I used to have a 60 minute commute to work (train to a short walk to a metro to another short walk) I would down audio books like a fiend on the train. I have a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes it difficult to maintain concentration and when the narrator does distinct voices or music for different characters/scenes/etc. it's easier for me to follow than books.

If only everyone recorded personal logs like in Star Trek you could have just bequeathed him those! On a serious note though, good on them for trying to learn and expand their knowledge even with some sort of learning disability. I was diagnosed with ADHD like 30 years ago and I understand how troubling it can be trying to read things while constantly having to re-read sentences because you spaced out, or having to keep 5 browser tabs open because each new section brings up some other topic that I now need. I describe my learning/throught process as a spider web for good reason.

Edit: I'm thinking of 'Frame of Mind', but both episodes are pretty scary.

I'm nearing 40 and 'Schisms' is still straight up nightmare fuel for me. Wonderful performance from Frakes.

Also "Duet" from S1 of DS9. Incredible acting.

"Carbon Creek" serves as a VERY light introduction to some core Star Trek elements. It's far from "the best" but it's a heartwarming little peak into the world of Trek. You even see some Vulcan's become influenced by human compassion which is a good way of showing what makes humans special.

I plan to show my mom Carbon Creek sometime soon.

Interesting. The trousers conceal a tiny, secondary horn.
