Actually brain development goes well into the 20s some studies say up until 25 or 26.  I suspect as we learn more we will see it actually goes into the early 30s.  

Yes i think as with most studies it was an average.  As far as i am aware if you keep learning new ideas and concepts then your brain neurons are actively changing (can't wait to see the neurologist jump on me for my ignorance) and your brain is still developing, which in turn effects the passage of conscious time.  That is why when you attend your first educational institution and pick up concepts which change your perceptions of reality quite regularly, that one year seems to last the equivalent of five years or so for someone in say their thirties who doesn't read anything new, works, comes home and watches television Monday to Friday and engages with nothing new save the news and a television series or movie and then asks "where did last year go".

Well, yes, but I wasn't talking about children in particular. Most people I know with ADD/ADHD are in their 20s.

Okay to be quite honest, I was talking about me. They upped my dosage a little while ago (which actually works pretty well), and my doc indeed checks my blood pressure when I visit him, but since I'm taking this stuff daily, while not in abusive (I think) amounts of course, but the new dosage is about what I guess someone would take before going to a rave or something. So either both me and the raver will have higher risk of aortarial splattering, or they don't (ugh it makes me queezy to think of).

Anyway I'll just ask my doctor next time and he'll tell me it's fine

I am sure that the doctor is as passive about the side effects as everyone else who reads through the included information which gives you a great big list of possible harmful effects. Doctors tend to prescribe things that they have not read the medical journal reviews of and tend to just follow suite with what other doctors are doing.  So long as your don't have an obviously visible bad reaction they will just tell you it is safe and fine.

In all fairness it probably is but with prescription drugs being arguably the second or third largest cause for death in the first world i try to stay clear, or at least read what the medical reviews say about the drug in question and studies done on them which you can get access to quite easily depending on where you live.  Generally the FDA and the WHO are "good"  http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsandProviders/UCM111085 Google is your friend.

What i did to use my ADHD was to cut out television and the News which i think helped a lot and i recently quit computer games then actively use my energies to replace the space with activities of my own doing.

Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt; Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs

I read a couple of books which go into sacred geometry of the "Ancient" civilizations and the reasons behind their construction by people like Johnathan Grey, Eric Von Daniken mainly and some others like David Wilcox who try elaborate (mainly based on dubious reasoning).  So i am hoping that this book will shed some light on the actual mechanics and construction and how it differs from the historical record from an engineer with a more methodological approach than say an archaeologist and see if the evidence actually suggest something worthwhile referencing.  Ill let you know how it goes.

I have Stalker downstairs and i have been meaning to watch it sometime.  Apparently Stalkers were people who sneaked into military practice ranges and hunted for unexploded shells and mines to sell according to Dmitry Glukhovsky who wrote metro 2033 (not a bad book).   

Cain are you still reading though Icke?
or did it end?

I think prescribing drugs to children for psychological problems is wrong and the use of drugs which effect the brain should be avoided until the brain has finished maturing.  There was a study i read i can't remember which one but i think it suggested that the age of development was about twenty i think.  The onus of the study was that if you introduce brain altering chemicals before the brain is fully developed then it will hinder development.

I had/have ADHD when i was at school it was not a diagnosis that was thrown around.  The problem was that i had an uncontrollable energy and when my attention span was too short i would cause trouble because i was bored.  The problem with me was that if i didn't understand what i was being taught then i used that energy to understand, when i understood and got bored because the pace was too slow or i disagreed with exhaustive repetition i caused trouble.

I have tried quite a few different drugs, 2CB, DMT, English, Mexican and Hawaiian mushrooms, Cactus.  Strangely the one which gave me the closest i could explain as an OBE was when i had some Indian Ketamine, where half way through my journey i thought "I better just go back to my body to make sure i am still breathing" which is the furthest out there i have been.
You can buy Ketamine from any pharmacist in India and even mail it back to yourself, very cheap too.
I won't bore you with my experience. I generally look at psychedelic/psychotropic (however you want to label it) drugs as a shortcut to deep meditation.  I used to mediate a lot and have  had some fun experiences, but that was after quite a lot of training. Since i haven't had the time to train or i can't be bothered, drugs are handy especially with practice and taking them with a purpose in mind
   

It clearly won't cover the intelligence gathering, it will be a Facebook fanboyjism there is probably more info in this four minute video than will appear in this bile.

My friend got me Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch for my birthday.  I am awaiting Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt: Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs and H. P. Lovecraft Omnibus (1) - At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror.  Not decided which i will start first maybe the Philip K Dick one because it is quite short.
