Can ADHD be almost the right way to handle undesired work?

If one doesn't want to do work, it's straight forward to not do it. If that isn't allowed then doing everything else is the closest thing to avoiding that work. In that sense, ADHD is either a way of avoiding to be broken or the inability to integrate work into one's accepted goals.

How could it be possible to accept work that one doesn't want to do?

er und seine freunde.

Können wir mal eine Liste seiner Freunde machen? Sie sind ja die Ursache des Problems. Dann sollten wir auch wissen, was sie wollen.

Just one article about the work conditions: https://africame.factsanddetails.com/article/entry-190.html

It could be that building the pyramids was not the regular job of the laborers. It was a communal experience like going to burnig man.

Society would be different if there would be one project that everybody builds together. It would be as unifying as a big war, without the disadvantages of a war.

It's not the same because the president doesn't represent society in a democracy in the same way.

For Egypt, the pharaoh was the thing that made Egypt. Kind o like the Dalai Lama or Jesus, the pharaoh was the son of horus, the incarnation of the principle of ruling. I am not an expert but I would say that the pyramid was built for that principle and not the person itself, whereas Trump has a Trump tower to make himself known.

If it isn't Trump but e.g. Taylor Swift, I could imagine fans to build something for her, e.g. her next stage set, if she offers to provide food and housing.

For democracy though, society should build something that doesn't celebrate one person but the community. E.g. China has a day when every citizen plants a tree. When you see the effect after some years, you can feel the transforming power of the community.

People would have time to debate political issues. Their job wouldn't take the biggest part of their life so they wouldn't link their identity with their job. Social customs would change so that the people who should work 40 hours for the benefit of all prefer other jobs. Scarcity of applicants would also shift the power towards the employees for wage negotiations.

It's possible and could improve society massively, but too risky for the current business owners to implement on their own.

This part of the FAQ makes the project interesting:

Services like Google’s Search Console allow website operators to optimize their search page for Google – thus Google crowdsources the robust parsing without making this information available to third parties.

A new search engine is at a disadvantage without that data. Website operators don't bother maintaining their information at an unknown search engine. Hopefully OWS becomes popular enough that operators use it, e.g. to indicate when their site needs a recrawl or which parts of their site have to be indexed.

Superapps existieren in China, um die Appstore Restriktionen von Google und Apple zu umgehen. Alle Gefahren der Superapp Light existieren schon jetzt, wenn man das Betriebssystem als Superapp ansieht.

Pyramids were most likely not built by slaves. They were communal projects.

We need something like the pyramids today. Communal projects that show the strength of the community.

Because it represents the tipping point where America lost its dominance. Starbucks doesn't sell coffee but an affordable access to experiencing the American way of life.

If Starbucks loses its appeal it means that people stop looking up to America. Students won't dream of becoming a scientist in America, business men won't long for participating in the American economy, consumers don't care about buying American products for being American.

All American products from now on have to compete on quality and service. This changes the value of the products and the value of the work that American workers deliver.

Two years until there is an energy crisis. If there weren't the vaccine parts, I would take him serious and be worried.
