Superintelligence by nick bostrum is about this and is fantastic. I actually forgot I read this book a few years ago until reading this post reminded me. An incredibly interesting book about the possibilities of intelligence (paths through bio hacking, AI, etc)

helpful

Thanks!

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️
