    Where’d totalitarianism come in now?

    I like how you’re downvoting each of my comments as if that makes your arguments more valid. I’ll go ahead and do the same to you now.

    Look, a relatively massive chunk of research is done by people who aren’t neurotypicals. In particular, nearly every good software engineer has ADHD and so do a LOT of scientists, etc.

    Without deadlines, nothing would ever get done because we’d all be working on 50 other projects instead of what needs to be done

      When so many people have adhd you should question whether it’s a mental condition or a societal condition.

      And you’re just saying bullshit. Just because you can’t work without deadlines doesn’t mean deadlines are necessary. That’s just management lies to extract “productivity” at the expense of everything else.

      Free softwares wouldn’t exist if your theory had any truth to itself. Art wouldn’t exist either.

      That is a totalitarian idea because it only leads to totalitarian behaviours. Like the ones we have in so many companies where engineers are monitored like they’re children and given unrealistic deadlines under the pretense they’re lazy or procrastinate. None of this actually work. There is absolutely zero evidence it does.

      You are generalising over something that’s wrong. That is the problem of your thesis.
