In this short monologue, the speaker reframes ADHD as an evolutionary adaptation rather than a disorder. He argues that in hunter‑gatherer societies, individuals with traits now labeled ADHD were valuable for seeking out food and taking risks. With the shift to agricultural and industrial societies, those same traits became mismatched with sedentary, structured work, leading to the perception of ADHD as a problem. The speaker shares personal observations that noisy, dynamic environments like coffee shops or airports are where he feels most productive, emphasizing that there is nothing inherently wrong with him—just a change in societal expectations.
