   This is great, and very stimulating, and I do love the combination of the audio lecture with the video marks.

   I’d love to hear Peters’ thought on the assertion here that ADHD is “a fictitious epidemic.” Do you agree, as someone who sees a lot of these young people?

   I’d love to know too the realities of how we might better go about teaching our children, as a society? As we look ahead and consider things like pre-school and kindergarten for our son, what is the best we can give him? I worry that this video, in some way, begins to make the argument for home schooling, for instance, or for alternative learning methods that stigmatize or at least make it difficult for a child to find commonality with others, at a young age and beyond. Maybe I’m extrapolating too much, but these are some of the immediate thoughts I have after watching this.

   Thanks, Ned.
