e was an expert who was describing ADHD as not somebody who is easily distracted. Rather it was a future blindness. In other words it looks to everybody, even the person with ADHD, it looks to everybody who's observing like they keep getting distracted with what's in front of them and therefore they're late. So they don't get places on time because they're just getting distracted. That's what it looks like to everybody. And the expert says total illusion. It's a total illusion. What it is is that the ADHD people have future blindness. Meaning they care about what's happening right now. So that's why they're chasing the shiniest object in their environment because it's happening right now.

And once you, I don't know if this is true yet so I'm going to present this as not necessarily true but as a filter or an alternate way of understanding what you're seeing. And here's what I liked about it. If you've known anybody who had this behavior, and I've known three people who consistently would be two hours late for stuff. Do you know anybody like that? Somebody who's consistently two hours late, right? Most people know at least one person like that. And do those people exhibit any ADHD personality characteristics? Probably. Yeah I just blew your ADHD mind didn't I? I'm blowing a lot of minds right now.

Now apparently this idea has been around a little while but it's the first time I heard it. And so I'm going to offer you this experiment. I want you to experiment if you have ADHD or you know somebody who does and you can talk to them. Experiment with this blindness thing. And have them do this. The next time they're preparing to go someplace that you know they're going to be late to, just see if you can get them to do this exercise before they go to get ready. Just spend some time visualizing the entire path from the moment you're getting ready, you know putting on your clothes, to getting in the car, to getting to the place, to you know what time it is. And sort of imagine it as a timeline and it's all connected. So what you're trying to do is imagine what you're doing now as on a timeline bar that is connected totally to the output, you know the end point. And just spend a little time doing a picture in your head. Picture it so it's like a little movie in your head. You're like okay now I'm putting on my shirt, getting on my clothes. I see them walking through the door. I see the other people gathering up or getting in the car. And just talk through it as visually as you can. And then just see if connecting the output with the moment, see if you can keep that alive while you're doing it as well.

Now what will probably happen is that the moment you start getting busy with what's in front of you you will become future blind. So there's a pretty high chance that you can't even do this exercise. Am I right? I think if a lot of you tried you would end up saying oh I forgot to do it or you'd have some excuse but it just wouldn't happen. I think that's what would happen because I think the blindness sets in and there's nothing you can do about it. Once you're blind you're blind. I mean you can't talk yourself out of the blindness. You just can't see it. So the question would be whether if you practiced seeing it before you get in the putting on your makeup, getting ready mode, if any of that can cross over into the bubble.

Now my thinking is it might not work the first time. It might not work the first time. You might have to try it a bunch of times and maybe try some variations that you feel like would work for you. Just see if you get lucky and if any of you get lucky and it makes a difference let me know. Because I do think that, well let me tell you something that hypnotists believe. When hypnotists look at therapists, let's say the people who are trained to deal with the problems, I'm talking about ADHD, being late. So the people who are experts on that, the experts will tell you well it's going to take lots of sessions and you know we'll work on it over time. But they also get paid by the hour. So the people who get paid by the hour will tell you it's going to take lots of sessions. The hypnotist who might be you know let's say volunteering to do it for free will tell you it's either going to be fast or it doesn't work. Do you know why? Well some hypnotists also charge by the hour so those hypnotists will tell you well it's going to take many sessions. But let's say you've got somebody to do it for free. The person who's going to do it for free is not going to tell you that it takes many sessions. Because I don't think any hypnotist believes that. The one who does it for free is going to say one to three sessions. One to three. Because after the third one if it doesn't work it's not going to work. It's just not going to work. But if you saw some progress in the first three you say oh let's keep pushing this. This might work for you. Not work for everybody. Everybody's different. But you can find something that works for everybody usually. So that's my hypothesis. And the hypnotist would say that this type of problem is almost instantly solvable. Not for everybody. I have to throw in the not for everybody. Anytime I'm talking about persuasion you should hear that automatically. Not for everybody, not all the time, not quickly. Right? Those are the universals. Not for everybody, not all the time, not quickly. But this is one of those that it could work for some people quickly. It could. There's some people who might be able to do an exercise, maybe not that exercise but something in a similar vein, that would actually cure you instantly. That's a distinct possibility within the hypnosis worldview. So we'll see. But it's something you could test and I guarantee it won't hurt you, right? Imagining the path to your destination is not going to hurt you. There's no downside to this. It'll either work and then you'll tell me about it and we'll solve the problems for the world or it won't.

By the way I was adding up the number of cures, things I've cured. And I'll tell you it's a really long list of like medical problems I've cured i
