"If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks"

I don't know. I think I am more on track while reading and there may be some sort of cumulative effect to keeping that up. Indeed if it's a mechanism we can exploit to build habits we better read til we're dead homie.

I'm going back hell or high water to get those fucking drugs this year bro, tired of wasting my potential being a bottom feeder when I could be taking this IQ and crushing skulls.

You see if you have a working brain with an IQ above 70, as well as normal human sentiments you can infact make sense of things without direct sources.

Needing sources means you have either:
-Below 70IQ
-zero sentience
-been trapped in a literal box your whole life with zero tangible experiences whatsoever

ADHD doesn't exist. It means you're a normal healthy boy who didn't like being forced to sit in a chair and do tedious uninteresting deliberately useless paperwork 6 hours a day as a literal growing developing child.

And that being said you did what everyone does after they get out of school and try literally anything at all, it's called actually start developing and progressing as a person.

But lots of people can already get by well enough to do the work, without having to take drugs. I think it's still statistically abnormal to be so dysfunctional that you need drugs just to focus on school (could be wrong). However, school still might be broadly harmful even if most kids can more or less cope in the short term

The brain isn't built to make accurate judgments about most things. You shouldn't be taking your own opinion as fact.
