Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No. Humans don't thrive under pressure. This is merely a totalitarian idea.
Where'd totalitarianism come in now?
I like how you're downvoting each of my comments as if that makes your arguments more valid. I'll go ahead and do the same to you now.
Look, a relatively massive chunk of research is done by people who aren't neurotypicals. In particular, nearly every good software engineer has ADHD and so do a LOT of scientists, etc.
Without deadlines, nothing would ever get done because we'd all be working on 50 other projects instead of what needs to be done
When so many people have adhd you should question whether it's a mental condition or a societal condition.
And you're just saying bullshit. Just because you can't work without deadlines doesn't mean deadlines are necessary. That's just management lies to extract "productivity" at the expense of everything else.
Free softwares wouldn't exist if your theory had any truth to itself. Art wouldn't exist either.
That is a totalitarian idea because it only leads to totalitarian behaviours. Like the ones we have in so many companies where engineers are monitored like they're children and given unrealistic deadlines under the pretense they're lazy or procrastinate. None of this actually work. There is absolutely zero evidence it does.
You are generalising over something that's wrong. That is the problem of your thesis.
