Episode notes
ADHD Produces Future Blindness
- People with ADHD struggle to imagine the future which weakens anticipation and consequence-awareness.
- This time-blindness makes future benefits and costs feel distant and unreal.
Losing A Tooth Illustrates Repeated Mistakes
- Anthony recounts losing a tooth and poor oral hygiene as an example of failing to connect actions to future consequences.
- He explains ADHD made him repeat mistakes because past pain didn't naturally influence future choices.

- ADHD also causes weak memory of the past, creating a limbo where lessons vanish unless actively recalled.
- That lack of retrospection prevents learning from previous pain, causing repeat errors.
