To me, this ADHD quirk would be considered a high capacity for curiosity if only:

  • there existed a technology permitting people to speed up their minds so they could comfortably complete their rabbit hole thoughts without interrupting their daily chores or degrading their social abilities.
  • the quantity of daily work required to live a comfortable life were low enough that people could comfortably explore rabbit holes to their conclusions in their free time.

Eh, there are jobs, like security analysis or IT integration on a budget that thrive on this rabbit hole quirk. But in a lot of cases it's a disability.
