Freddie DeBoer is one of my favorite writers and someone whose blunt yet thoughtful wisdom is sorely needed these days. Freddie joins me to discuss:
- The explosion in ADHD diagnosis and prescription drugs such as Aderral and Ritalin.
- How ADHD and other disorders have become "cultures" and "communities" that define people's identities
- The role of pharmaceutical companies and bureaucratic rewards incentivizing claims of ADHD and other disorders
- How "Safetyism" (the prioritization of emotional comfort over all things) is impeding solutions
- Freddie's criticism of social shaming (i.e., "cancel culture") from a progressive, left-wing perspective
- The rage of the "creative underclass"
