At no point does the author advocate for people to not seek treatment and support for ADHD. The major point of the piece is that the hyper commodification of attention has created a techno-social order that does not accommodate the type of beings that we are. And when we fail to fulfill the demands of capitalism, that is pathologized as an individual disorder. He also clarifies that the frameworks presented aren't all encompassing > I’ve learned in listening to others tell their stories over the years that however thick or compelling the theoretical framework may be, it will not account for all of the nuances and idiosyncrasies of human experience. His arguments are not about the individual, but about the systems that create and exacerbate psychological differences, pathologize those differences, and then commodify their "cures". It doesn't matter if you love or hate capitalism. You're subjected to it regardless. |
