Re: Is there really “nothing positive” about ADD?

Pete, when you argue that one person’s dysfunction can somehow increase functionality in a group, you open up an interesting can of worms. I’ve already sent the e-mail off to Barclay. I don’t know how he would answer that one; perhaps he’d argue that the same could be said for “great aunt Hattie”: If she’d just go ahead and die (cease to function), the whole family would benefit from the cost savings associated with her 24/7 care. i.e., a condition that’s not so hot for Hattie would be a benefit to everybody else. But I dunno.

I would add this: show me an HR department these days that would touch a loudmouth contrarian and I’ll show you a flying saucer. HR has become a synonym for groupthink…which is why I suspect ADDers looking for work may be better served applying for positions at companies too small to have fossilized cultures.
