people who have mental illness are all low iq.
"mental illness" and "poorly functioning brain" are synonymous terms

Working memory is not the same as long-term memory. Long-term memory has an unlimited capacity, which is why crystalized knowledge increases with age.

That's not what he implied.
Fittingly for the topic, you can't into logic,
He didn't make a statement about ADHD people.
Draw a diagram if it helps

ADHD = high ram low disk space

retarded = obsolete oberating system full of bloatware

'normal' = moderate ram high disk space

intelligent = high ram high disk space - prone to disk fragments and process loops

And we use only 5% of our brain, yes?

Not always. For schizos it's true. But I heared that Anorexia correlates with high iq.

Is that a mental illness though? It requires high willpower. It's antithetical to acting on impulse

I wish I had the study saved which showed a meta-analysis of various studies and ultimately came up with the conclusion that a lot of what is called ADHD might be more aptly called low intellectual functioning since the IQ of the average ADHD diagnosed kid was around 85.

How do we reconcile this with many confirmed midwits (110-120) being employed as data scientists and software devs? Surely the field cannot be done by 85 IQ tards?

sure, but "mental illness" and "poor grasp on reality" are also synonymous terms, so good luck convincing the delusional mental cases that they're not all geniuses

What actually is ADHD? I just remember the class clowns being diagnosed with it in elementary school.

I'm just going to guess this is yet another meme short-term study about performance on little toy problems. If so, the results can't be justifiably extrapolated to realistic problem-solving that relies on deep domain knowledge.

It's more of OCD type. They can't resist controlling something.
BTW OCD people look smarter then average, do you agree anon?

Idk my IQ tests well above normie levels and has stayed quite high even after a decade of heavy drug use and mental illness. Being intelligent actually makes mental illness worse because I can naturally see all the ways I am deficient, and the older I get I pick up on when I'm acting illogically, at times it's like I'm on the outside watching myself out of control. I've tried to get into religion, fitness, video gaming, just working myself dry, nothing fixes my problem and every time I spiral downward I dig deeper. I'm searching for something and who I am no longer feels compatible with the world around me.
Thanks for reading my blog post if you would take just one piece of advice from someone like me it's to be careful what you wish for
If you're still here just know I emphatically disagree with your statement, I would go so far as to say that the most uniquely intelligent individuals could be categorized by normies as "mentally ill".
