The smartest people I know in the tech ecosystem have ADD/ADHD and/or dyslexia - the correlation between having these and being successful in tech is crazy… Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? If there’s anyone who can think of a way to prove this correlation, DM me

@JaiRelan Would be interested to see if there's a correlation between ADD/ADHD and success specifically on the internet. A lot of my favourite content creators have ADD/ADHD so I don't think it's limited to just tech people.

@JaiRelan Maybe it leads to a lot of breadth?

@Metathea11 Agreed… startups are a lot about context switching a lot and ADD kids are usually pretty good at it

Albert Einstein is said to be the Mad Scientist. Yet his surname is synonymous to the word Genius. I find that contradiction quite amusing. Perhaps because it seems to reveal something about how society perceives incredible minds.
