Congrats, Bill! Bummed you’ll be leaving EL, but sounds like a great opportunity!

Right outside of Evergreen! The trail is called Independence Mountain.

The morning bun is calling your name, Dave.

Super interesting stuff! Definitely comports with the idea that ADHD is as much about motivation as it is about attention/cog control.

Yeah. It's pretty blatant consensus-mongering. At each phase of the process they asked for free response feedback, and I wrote multiple paragraphs of very critical feedback for many of the statements each time, and was roundly ignored.

Many of the other statements were like this as well, with authors asking "what do you mean by this?" and being met with basically "Thats pedantic. Do you *agree* with it?"

I can't say for sure, but I suspect that was a reason why so many statements had high non-response rates.

For example, I mostly focused on the "attention fragmentation" statement of the paper since it's closest to my research area, and despite repeated comments that the lead authors didn't even define "fragmentation" in any way that makes sense with the literature, they forged ahead.

I've gone back and forth many times as to whether being involved in this effort was a good idea, but without the involvement of many of the other more skeptical authors it would have come out much worse and more lopsided than it already is.

It's not even a "consensus"! I (along with other authors on the paper) have pushed back heavily at just about every phase of the writing process. The paper being framed by some of the more visible authors as "all of these people agree with this" is patently false.
