1:32 and see if any of your data has been exposed that's a r.com/tim the New York Times is basically saying that ADHD was a scam they say "Have we been thinking about ADHD all wrong with diagnoses at a record high some experts have begun to question our assumptions about the condition and how to treat it except South Park questioned it a long time ago where they played a video and the doctor was like "Our new treatment for HD ADHD is non-medical uh non nonvasive simply approached the child and he walks up to the kid and he and he slams the table and says sit down and study." And the kid just gets right to it and starts reading and the other kids are shaking and he goes once the treatment is administered to one child the others fall in line as well so um the crazy

2:17 thing about this that I think needs to be brought up right away check this out they say there was one there was another distressing result they noticed in their data a physiological one the children who took rolin for an extended period grew less quickly than the non-medicated children did by the end of those 36 months subjects who had consistently taken stimulant medication were on average more than an inch shorter than the ones who had never received medication many of the scientists in the MTA group assumed this height suppression in childhood would be temporary that the shorter children would catch up during adolescence but when data was collected again 9 years after the initial experiment the height gap remained in 2017 Swanson and the MTA group published another follow-up this time tracking the subjects until age 25

3:03 the ones who had consistently taken stimulant medication remained about an inch shorter than their peers their ADHD symptoms meanwhile were no better than those who had stopped taking the medication or who never even started excuse me that is to say men out there everybody think about this the New York Times says when they put you on that ADHD medication you'll be short you'll be an inch or more shorter than you would have been i think that if you go if if a lot of these men knew that being put on this drug would do this to them in in their adulthood they would say absolutely not more importantly I think most people are starting to realize when you take young men who are spunky and full of energy and want to run around like kids you put them in a

3:50 room and say "Sit down and shut up." And they're sitting there shaking it is not an illness it is called being male so uh I I visited some family friends uh my wife's friends and they had a son and a daughter around and and they were they were very close in age and they said "You know what's really funny one day the boy started running around smashing things." And the girl started running around taking them and trying to protect them and we didn't teach them to do this they just did and uh yes boys and girls are different men and women are different they are so when they start drugging children in mass and I think it's like what a fifth of kids are getting these drugs it's not because the kids anything's wrong i think that this the data point that I saw in the article earlier was um 23% of 17y olds currently

4:38 which is one in four one in four yep 23% of 17y olds look at this 15.5% of American adolescence 21% of 14-year-old boys and 23% of 17-year-old boys seven million American children have received an ADHD diagnosis up from six million in 2016 and what happens between what happens between 14 and 17 high school so that's when you get hit with the high school teachers so the 17 year olds have a higher rate because they're spending they've spent more time in high school and had a high school teacher say "Oh this kid needs a prescription." It's such a scam man it's so bad i wonder how much You know you know what's really fascinating is that uh school sucks and everyone knows it sucks kids have been saying school sucks forever and parents don't listen and there is something functionally wrong with this country

5:23 that children every day say "I hate this." Well yeah this is not what human life is supposed to be we're supposed to be working towards goals go back 200 years the kids would wake up early and work with their parents and sure kids would be like "I want to go hang out with my friends and things like this." But you weren't supposed to hate where you were at all hours of the day to the point where you get bullying and you get shootings and you get other nonsense these schools are being run miserably and that is why we must abolish the Department of Education well among other but I mean look that there are are there's evidence that or the the way that schools are are designed is to train kids for a world that doesn't exist anymore most kids are not going to get out of school and go and work in a factory and that was kind of the design

6:10 but that's that that's the scheduling structure with the bells ringing and all that yeah schools today are just miserable places to be where kids are not typically the teachers don't like you yeah they're a vestage of the past they should get that's why we should get rid of them well I mean I don't even think they were functional when they were implemented as means of training kids to work in factories the the the fact of the matter is kids always learned from their parents and their communities they would they they had neighbors the son would work with the dad from a young age and learn the dad's craft and the daughter would work with the mother and learn the mother's craft and now what we've created is we give our children off to the state to put them in an institutionalized learning facility where the kids don't actually learn and they're miserable and then the teachers start telling those kids start lying to their parents this whole thing is broken and when when young men who

6:56 are disagreeable say "I don't like this place." They go "He needs drugs." It is a nightmare dystopia happening before our very eyes and it's time to put an end to it there's more distractions today than there was a decade ago as well cell phones in the classroom uh all sorts of things that are targeted at the the teen generation as far as marketing and I think that the pharmaceutical company's business practice of creating forever customers and giving kickbacks to physicians and doctors that prescribe these medications in the first place kind of plays handinhand with perhaps these uh data points we're looking at my child is not going to go on the internet until she's 50 that's a solid plan like Steve Jobs was famous for not allowing his kids any technology yep none i can

7:43 make the argument that the Roland generation is the reason we have smartphones the reason we have tablets and the reason we have social media in the form that they are because parents saw how rolin was affecting their children like no we're creating zombies we can't do this we need a different way to control our children and pacify them so guess what social media comes along and guess what here's your new babysitter i don't have to put you in front of a TV anymore i can just put a tablet in your hand and I can still watch the TV shows that I cared about yeah i say "Nah nah none of that." Um my kid is not going to have any tablets or phones i will get a computer with no internet so she can learn basic computer

8:28 stuff we will have a touchscreen we will have uh uh we will have tablets but no internet no internet none no um we're gonna get uh she's gonna use a 1994 Dell PC with a Pentium 2 processor and it's going to have Math Blaster and Number Muncher on it and Oregon Trail and she's going to play the games I play oregon Trail trail the original does anyone remember Does anyone remember Deep Cut Prairie Dog Hunter yes no what is that prairie Dog Hunter wait maybe because it had the most epic sound effects ever you would shoot the prairie dog and it would be like that came on the Apple 2e along with Oregon Trail yes it was it was Yeah it

9:13 was on uh I I was never an Apple guy but I I had I had Jetpack i had a bunch of those games jetack was awesome you can make your own levels exactly so I want that kind of stuff for my kid where we I want some of the newer things but I don't trust a lot of this modern stuff you know these modern kids shows are horrifying and they're not educational you know what Mr rogers you know what it is it's because of the frame rates um it's with frame rates and and um it's the skipping of content so the way the scenes switch over and over and over and that's one thing you know um uh I I'll just shill it for a second but like the Brave Books guys one of they have a new Brave Plus out that's out right now and and you know Kirk Cameron was doing the whole IGE and Mr kirk thing so they've but they've also launched it's on Roku and smart TVs a show or a channel that

10:00 you can just go and download for free where you get Iggy and Kirk and you get like some of it for free and then you can buy the rest of it but they've also brought back a lot of those like '9s cartoons and they specifically track it to make sure it doesn't have those fast scene skips that would lock someone into this like ADHD sort of state the way that the new stuff does and they were walking me through it the other day i was like "That's actually fascinating because I know that when my kids and we've like banned all that stuff from my house i didn't realize that before I had kids." I was like "What why is this like show s like a like a Paw Patrol kind of show content wise is fine." Like I know there's a couple woke episodes wait wait wait paw Patrol most of Is that where the animals speak English like people my

10:46 child will not be watching any of that furry garbage that is furry indoctrinating content and my child will not watch it i told my wife "No Bambi." She's like "But Bambi is good." No Bambi what about Winnie the Pooh no okay but only the live action Snow White what What about Fraggle Rock none i hate Muppets darn those Fraggles she's She We're going to We're going to We're going to raise her like it's the 1800s and we're going to convince her technology doesn't exist oh so you want to go back i am kidding by the way you want to go back You want to go back before uh Schoolhouse Rock and I think schoolhouse rock should absolutely be taught in every home the only raise your hand the only anthrop learned more from schoolhouse rock than they did from school about how government actually works the only anthropifies things that

11:32 should be allowed are bills exact yeah yeah exactly exactly explain to the child how law bills become law and that's acceptable wasn't she going to do she going to do chores on the farm she going to take care of the chickens we're going to get a garden going we're going to get a mini cow and she going to do work wasn't there a Simpsons episode where they or Simpsons or South Park i forget and they did a parody of Schoolhouse Rock they're like "Here's how it really works." You're like "I'm a bill i'm a lobbyist." Absolutely yeah like a bunch of money thanks for checking out this clip from Timcast IRL make sure to watch the show live Monday through Friday at 8:00 PM subscribe to this channel and we will see you all there
