In this brief monologue, the speaker proposes that ADHD traits originated as an evolutionary advantage for hunter‑type individuals in ancestral tribal societies, who needed to be restless, seek stimulation, and secure food. With the transition to agricultural and industrial societies that value sedentary, repetitive work, those same traits became maladaptive and are now labeled as a disorder. The speaker argues that modern noisy, dynamic environments—such as bustling coffee shops or airports—better match the ADHD brain, allowing individuals with ADHD to thrive, suggesting the problem lies in a societal mismatch rather than a personal deficit.
