You make a good point about Shapiro's intensity.

But only progressive academics see that as a bad thing (not you).

Shapiro is bright and fully engage...hence intense.

I would suggest intense exercise instead of ritalin BTW.

Peterson got his bit in there...and Shapiro told us a great deal about the perceived diff between Christianity and Orthodox Judaism.

As an aside, I think meds like ritalin are over-prescribed. I took ritalin once...quickly gave it up for long, intense cardio exercise.

ADHD is a bullsh!t diagnosis by liberal quacks

The solution for ADHD's is to burn off that extra energy in exercise.

I know this up close and personal...it's a fact.

The question that Shapiro asks — what denomination of Christianity are you going to look at — is a question that came to the late C. S. Lewis in the 1900s. And that is a valid question. This is how he came up with his account of “Mere Christianity.” Sitting at the crossroads of Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity as he did in the Anglican Church, he was able to see down both roads and formulate a united view. The woman who he later married, Joy Davidson, was a Jewish woman who came to faith through Lewis’ writings.

It would be of a piece with the low key manner of God if the return of Jews to Christ had a major signpost pointing to the witness of C. S. Lewis, a man who was by no means perfect (what sinner is, in this world) but inspired by the love of the Father.

I take Concerta (controlled release Ritalin) for ADD without hyperactivity, but only started that as an adult. I guess you know you need it when it doesn’t hype you up, which it never does to me. I’m not hyperactive, but I over think and jabber too much. I am better about not saying the first thing that pops into my head. Those around me and my husband can tell when I don’t take it, which I skip a couple of times a week. It certainly isn’t addictive to me. Several of my relatives have been diagnosed with ADD, mostly as adults.
