Maybe I'm misunderstanding and I bet ADHD people agree with his assessment, but don't we all have multiple thoughts at the same time. The list he had for the ADHD brain is some kind of list I can imagine having in my brain at one time. I think the difference between the two brains is the ability to prioritise. The thoughts all nag, but you have to choose one to deal with first. If you can't prioritise e.g when stressed or perhaps if you have ADHD overwhelm going on you procrastinate and then the task list sits unchanged and gets more and more daunting as time goes on and it becomes a loop. So in short, I think the difference is the threshold for procrastination because we all really fall into procrastination, but I'm neurotypical (AFAIK) so I can only speak to my own experience of how my brain works and contrast with this analogy.

New camo is best camo
When he says he's going to reduce drugs by thousands of percent, I think he looks at the price of drug x in, for example, Germany and sees a price of $10 then he looks at the price in the USA of $160. So the USA price is 1600% of the Germany price.
He claims to reduce them to the Germany price, and then screws up on how percentages work and says he'll reduce it by 1600%, instead of what he should say, which is reducing it by 94%.
So that's how I understand the comments he makes. Either way he's full of shit and won't actually reduce them at all, but I think I get why he thinks he is correct in stating percentages in the thousands.
