This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There's a Ted talk on this called panic monkey.

I watched it instead of doing an assignment in high school. Made a lot of sense and little difference.

Just looked it up. It's a talk based on the Wait But Why? blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU

FYI, the name for the thing he's describing is ADHD. The "rational decision maker" is called executive function.

Edit: here is the blog post the talk is based on
