"procrastination" can be seen as avoiding tasks, but IMO we need a different word to describe it for tasks you want to do (which eventually get done) and those you don't (which may not).
seems to me capitalists favor using that word for the former case as an explanation of why people with ADHD take so long to do tasks; they want us to see mental and emotional pre-processing as "wasted time"
this was a helpful starter list thank you lmao! I'm usually a single-carryon dude myself, but this time I'm going camping so I have to bring a checked bag with stuff I never usually think about like a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent (which I put up last weekend to make sure I have all the parts & I'm not freaking out in the rain), eclipse glasses, etc
if someone tells me we're leaving tomorrow I'm like nuh uh I'm gonna need that in writing and delivered at least 2 weeks in advance sir, otherwise I may perish b/c I'll forget to bring anything to sustain life other than the clothes on my body
You sound angry, my friend. You've been sold lies just like the right has. Putin and Xi Xinping have been succeeding at tearing this country apart from the inside out.
This is a very dangerous take, and it's concerning how many upvoters you have, who are also not thinking critically.
You seem to be forgetting that liberals and conservatives in this country are all Americans. We are all on one team, and foreign interests wish to divide us and convince us that we are enemies, when we are not.
Conservatives need liberals to exist as much as liberals need conservatives to exist. The day this country's tensions between conservatism and liberalism die is the day the USA ceases to exist. That tension is at the core of our republic, literally since its founding, and it's what makes us great, unlike any other nation on Earth.
Until a mental health issue has been concretely determined, I believe it's somewhat irresponsible to toss the idea around that it's the underlying root cause for this obscene behavior.
Religion, like other dogmas, has historically empowered and continues to empower a lot of otherwise mentally healthy people to feel okay doing plenty of fucked up shit, simply because religion said it's okay to do it.
Ever heard of the Stanford Prisoner Experiment? Many "normal" people will do terrible things if simply given permission.
As someone with ADHD, if I don't workout at least once a week (e.g. walking to the gym & lifting weights for 30-60 mins) and get those endorphins, my mental health starts to noticeably decline, so yes.
I'm no physicist but researching this topic leads me to believe the person who posted the top comment is either a physicist worried about things that don't impact others, or someone who has discovered the elixir of life and will live a thousand generations.
According to perplexity, there are only 2 noteworthy consequences this could have, both of them relatively meaningless for most people's existence today.
First is what the end of the universe looks like (not a problem we need to worry about for all practical purposes) - If protons decay, all baryonic matter would eventually be converted into gamma ray photons and leptons. If they don't decay, the matter will eventually be converted into... photons and leptons... same stuff, but it'll take longer. Big whoop.
Second is the implications on particle physics (again, not a real problem that substantially affects anyone's life besides actual physicists) - since the stability of protons implies the conservation of the baryon number, which is a principle of the Standard Model, if protons don't decay then... the standard model we already have is correct, and newer theoretical models attempting to unify all the forces will have a harder time doing so. That's literally all it means, and impacts literally nobody except physicists AFAICT.
So to the top commenter: either tell us your dirty secrets or get out of here with your alarmist crap.
🤣 you got me
