I am going to debunk the myths of ADHD and tell the truth about it once and for all.

Yes, the conspiracy exists.

Why do we forget things?

Answer: Forgetting things is something of intention, meaning that we do it on purpose and we have a special device that wipes specific memories from our minds. For example: people with ADHD do not like keys, they are necessary for too many silly things like, well, locks, so we wipe away the memory of where we put them. We can, and do, take memories of combinations, and people, and remove those too.

Why do we repeat our mistakes?

You’ve got to do this and you’ve got to do that
