Nice to see an intelligent, fairly civil argument on a youtube vid!?! Keep it up!

I think it has more to do with us duping ourselves--after all, society is what we make it to be. And we currently have a system that encourages conformity and consumerism and discourages divergence (unless you're *really* good at it); but I think that's mostly due to the current state of economics than any single societal factor. But yes, I share your disheartening.

I think he's summarizing the effect--from what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) what acts as stimulation for most people can have a sedative effect on someone with ADHD, and vice versa, a normal sedative can act as a stimulant. But I think he was more addressing over drugging and hyper-diagnoses: In another vid, he posits that as many as half the diagnoses might be wrong. But I'm definitely coming at this from a lay-person's perspective, so no hate if I'm wrong!

Wow--that connection... I hadn't thought that before, but now that's pretty powerful. Thanks.

Can anybody tell me what he means by "if the route to it marginalises most of the things you find important about yourself" in context please?

I don't believe that education should be compulsory, because the kids in schools that do not want to learn will refuse to be taught by their teachers and also spoil it for the kids that do want to learn, as the kids that don't want to learn are mischievous in the classrooms. I think it would be much better if education was voluntary and that way the teachers could just teach the kids that want to go to school and want learn, the classrooms will then be a peaceful place to learn.

We have enough 'geniuses'. We instinctively follow those whose track record indicates understanding. It's called,' consensus'. The whole "Big Boss" idea is untenable because NO ONE is totally perfect. The education hierarchy is part of the World Hierarchy. This is the problem. Follow the money trail....right to the Rothschilds' front door. Or should that be 'doors'...?

This is an interesting point; it's certainly true that certain types of people are NOT getting to reach their maximum potential, under our current system, but I don't think every point here is accurate - it's not simply a matter of finding everyone's 'niche' and doing away with the old system of 'academic achievement', but in engaging children and making them WANT to learn academically. Lord knows, we perhaps NEED more engineers, scholars and practical scientists, over drop-outs.

If divergent thinking ≠creativity, what's wrong with there being less divergent thinking? Maybe those kids just learned how to better judge what's realistic or what's better when looking at their ideas.Maybe they learnt how to filter out the bad stuff from all that divergent thinking. By the way, does anyone know the exact study he was referring to about divergent thinking and paper clips? I'd like to go check it up.
