  • Your question is how do you follow your adhd driven deep interest dives without committing to a graduate program while contributing to the field.

    As a PhD student and someone who acts similarly with hobbies, current one is self hosting, I would say a couple things. Firstly, if I had to do it again I might say get a good paying job that you’re interested in and explore your hobbies on your own. Not getting a PhD won’t make you miss out on anything but 7 years of work for some credentials. Most of the skills you can hypothetically gain on your own, depending on the field.

    Secondly, there is such a thing as an independent research. If you understand how research works in a field and can research and write accordingly, you can certainly do that.

    For wanting to contribute I would start a website for your projects. I would use this to contact people in said field for advice and ask what they think about your ideas. You could use them as a stepping stone for potential publications.

    I would say at least 50% of academics especially the 30-50 year old one’s are more than willing to help, or at least meet with you, if they have time.





  • Good… good… we should also teach them to view all non-operators as potential threats this way they’re always prepared to attack the enemy. This sort of education will naturally not shift their perception nor cause them to accidentally shoot civilians especially minorities.

    They should also take threats serious. If they were to know a criminal was in a building with a deadly weapon it would be best to wait outside to gain the advantage over the criminal. Can’t go inside because the locals might also be potential threats. You never know when an elementary could have a black boy with a rubber band gun!
