    As someone with some profound ADHD that has affected my career, I have to say, I would be fucking amazing in the Star Trek universe. For someone with an interest-based focus ability, a society where the standard of social merit is, "do cool shit you're passionate about," would be Heaven. I can do things. I can do amazing things. When I'm passionate about something, I can move mountains. But stick me in a cubicle and ask me to do the same grind day in, day out? I really struggle. Some people say they would just disappear forever into the Holodeck. But for me, the coolest thing about the Star Trek universe is that regular people can simply do whatever they're most passionate about, without concern for monetary profit.

    Sure, you can live in the Star Trek universe. In 2026.

    Enjoy the impending Eugenics Wars and Post-Atomic Horror.

    Haha I was gonna reply with something similar. If you choose the Star Trek universe, then you'd better get awfully specific about when, where, and who you are.

    The Bell Riots were supposed to have happened two years ago.
