Not only do we live up to the things others tell us out loud about ourselves, we also live up to the unspoken assumptions. Reveals how some of the world's most successful people can be labeled as ADHD hunters, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie

The March 25, 1996, issue of Time featured a cover story on the functions of the brain and the latest research into why our brains behave the way they do. Evolutionary notions of behavior played an important part in that article, including the recent discovery by researchers that those people most likely to have the gene that causes the brain to crave fatty foods and thus produce obesity are also those people whose ancestors over the past ten thousand years came from parts of the world where famines were common. What was an adaptive behavior for primitive peoples has become maladaptive in a world where most hunting is done at the supermarket.

From there, it spread across the fertile crescent and into Syria, eventually infecting northern Africa, Europe (via the Roman conquerors who carried Wétiko), Asia, and, with the arrival of Columbus, the Americas. In popular literature, Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade and Sacred Pleasures, has explored early cultures and shows the fundamental differences between what she calls cooperator and dominator cultures. (We in Western civilization are members of the latter.) Similarly, Daniel Quinn, in his books Ishmael and The Story of B, writes about Leavers and Takers to describe a similar cultural division. About five thousand years ago, these cultural schisms set the stage for a mass extermination of hunter-gatherer peoples that continues to this day in remote parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Isn’t easily distracted by his or her environment. It may take three or four weeks to plant all the seed or rice shoots necessary for a complete crop, and the window of good weather may be limited. If a Farmer were to get distracted while planting and wander off to investigate a noise in the forest, or spend days trying to figure out why one plant was slightly larger than another or satisfy some other curiosity, the crop wouldn’t get planted — and he or she would starve.

Farmers sustain a slow-and-steady effort for hours every day, days every week, weeks every month. While it could be argued that there are bursts of energy needed during harvest time, most Hunters would say that such bursts are nothing compared to chasing a deer fifteen miles through a forest. And the Farmer’s “bursts” need to last all day, often for days or weeks at a time. Even in high gear, a Farmer’s efforts would be characterized as fast-and-steady.
