Show Notes
This episode dives deep into the brain's internal management system to understand why some people stay focused while others "drift" into Wikipedia rabbit holes. We compare the neurotypical "air traffic control" system to the ADHD experience, highlighting how dopamine levels and impulse control shape our daily productivity. Finally, we explore a future where technology acts as a supportive scaffold rather than a digital prison, using haptics and intentional friction to keep us on track without the sting of surveillance.
