Scientists say we have more people and children with ADD and something related than ever before. As well, they say the rates are increasing. Hrmm (same thing I hear with Autism)…
Why would we have ever increasing rates of a certain “disorder” in our society? What are we doing which would cause something of that nature? There are so many random logical potential causes, but so few things are simply logical.
This new world in which humans live as singular tools to tap away has changed our sense of self relative to our ancestors as they were continually on the hunt using their minds and bodies. This change in physical activity from so much of a different past has left us with the remnants of what used to be seen as a trait. The ability to avoid fixation on any random unimportant event, to change your focus to pay attention to the continually changing dangerous environment around you. Some of the variables have changed. Go back randomly and you find things like bear attacks and Indian warfare worrying early American’s. Now a days we stress about the daily commute on the highway. While both can kill you, the odds are much better for us now a days. So we need to focus elsewhere. And suddenly we have ADD. Maybe…maybe not.
Maybe ADD is a byproduct of the increase in energy activity that bathes our planet. When I say energy, I am thinking things like radio waves, cellular towers, television, electrical heat energy released from lights and cars and buildings, microwaves, Wi-Fi connections, mammograms, hot pockets…things that release obscene amounts of electrical energy into the environment. Maybe in some way, all that energy continually bathing a newly created embryo, which itself is merely a byproduct of a current of energy racing between various molecules, changed the way it grew. Possibly it created less energy and thus grew dependent upon what was in nature and created an instable long term system. Maybe it rewired certain paths which are influenced by the move of early energy through ones body. Hrmm…
Maybe, ADD isn’t a “disorder” at all. Maybe ADD is evolution attempting to grasp an advantage. Maybe the human being, which is a conductor of energy and finely in tune with its environment in very subtle ways (we have a continual sharp picture of environmental conditions based upon all our sense, has begun to attempt to harvest another form of energy from the environment for purpose of benefit. Sharks have the ability to feel the electrical current of a living being. This helps them zero in on prey as their eyes are a long distance from their mouths (on the other side and out of view). Any migrating animal must have some feel of the Earth’s electrical current in order to find its way back and forth. Maybe we are attempting to decipher something new. To conceive that evolution would simply disappear in a world in which the things choosing against one reproducing are much more subtle (your ability to survive in a political society has become more important in life) than in previous times (stronger, taller, bigger teeth). Any change in the environment causes change to those who are in said environment. Maybe ADD is the “disorder” which will allow newborns to perfectly control the hardware controls inserted into their bodies to allow for the control of computers (or whatever we call it by then).
Maybe…maybe not.
