The names were first. The locations are named after names.

Even America was a name first.

Like always, google is doing things for free to get training data.

All things are going into an authoritarian direction which needs control of the opposition. Google will have the infrastructure to identify people with opposing mindsets. There won't be a rebellion if the rebel leaders can be locked up in time.

The biggest pill was that I am not intelligent. I was just studious and invested enough time to pass exams. People not doing what they should do is not them being stupid but me not grasping the full picture.

The second biggest pill that I am still swallowing is that I am not a good person. I try to behave in a good way, but it's manipulative and not authentic. People don't like goodness if it doesn't come from the heart.

Also, when you finally say “no” to them, they act as though you’re a terrible person.

To them, it looks like they are the only person to which you say no. This means that you say no because of them. People don't like being questioned like that.

Add some assurance that the no is not personal.

Capitalism is also a symptom, a symptom of an intellligence and knowledge imbalance.

People need to be informed and organized to prevent being abused. If they are, they can run a socialist or communist country, or tax their oligarchs without being scammed into losing power.

Some people, e.g. ML, know how to defeat the oligarchs. The majority is not willing to learn and implement it. Even if there has been a revolution, the majority most likely will not stay sharp to prevent a decline.

If the oligarchs are willling to transition into another form of society, they don't have anything that could take over.

It seems like you escape your inner conflicts by being industrious.

Not professional advice but instead of going, you could halt posting for a moment and focus on your breathing. It will assure you that you are safe, and you can let the conflicts become a bit more aware without feeling overwhelmed by the terror. Do this for some time and you create the space to transform your conflicts.

Meine Hypothese ist, dass die deutsche Mentalität zur Unaufgeregtheit neigt.

Der Grundzustand des Menschen ist Ausgeglichenheit. Es ist daher nicht nur mög­lich, dass Menschen positive Erregung als Ziel zu haben sondern eben auch das Beibehalten der Ausgeglichenheit.

Weisser Spargel ermög­licht eine unaufgeregte Mahlzeit, ist aber andererseits so ungewöhnlich, dass er für Abwechslung sorgt.

Same as with regular medicine, book a flight to India or Mexico.

Totally. Only that I postponed the thing I had to do for even longer.

Your post made me realize that I postpone because I am afraid of hyperfixating. When I hyperfixate I do things that I don't want to be do, but that have to be done to make them right.

Like I expected, when I finally did what I had to do, I found something that was not right, and spent some additional time on it without being able to let go.

Here is an older thought about it: Could it be that ADHD is an identity thing? Essentially like transsexual but for being and not sex. Hyperfocussing is like wearing a mask, not out of fear of social reactions but from the inability of maintaining my identity. I lost my day by being afraid of experiencing being-dysphoria. It only ends when the fear of the consequences of inaction are bigger than the fears of dysphoria.
