Two possibilities:

The man is very Zen and will spend 10 hours in silent contemplation. And arrive rested and refreshed.

or

He downed 20 mg of Valium with his last drink in the airport bar and will be asleep before the plane hits cruising altitude. And arrive rested and refreshed.

I fall very much into the 2nd possibility there, and often enjoy flying as a result. Bonus points if you fly at the right time, and near enough avoid jetlag altogether.

I can sleep on any flight. I just slap my forehead against the seat in front of me and go to Z town. No drugs or meditation required. The noise of the plane is like white noise.

This is the reverse of ADHD. I most people, their brain produces almost enough internal stimulation to keep itself happy. They still need a small amount to get there though. This can be external (books, films, conversation etc) or internal. In ADHD, the level is low enough that it can't be pulled up enough internally, leading to the short term novelty seeking that is the classic symptom.

At the other end, is this. For some people, the level of natural stimulation is enough to be happy, independent of external (or even internal) sources. They don't need the boost. They are happy sitting staring at a wall, and possibly see it as a nice break from the overstimulation of normal life.

In their own way, these people are scary.

Lol that's what weed does to me

You sit and stare at the wall?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's not that I do sit and stare at the wall, but that I would be happy to.

The hallmark of someone who is high as a kite. Watching paint dry becomes this epic adventure of thoughts and emotions!

Reminds me of this ancient meme:

I don't care if its scary, I wish that was me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can do it, I wish I knew how to be better at it. It's almost like a form of meditation. If you let your mind wonder, sometimes it won't stop and will create a little movie or book like experience in your mind. This can last up to 15 minutes for me where I can sit in a trance, completely absorbed in whatever thing is happening in my head. I have seen people who can do it for hours, possibly indefinitely. I deeply envy them.

I have ADHD and my husband has... whatever this is. He stares at the wall sometimes, just quietly and contentedly thinking on the couch and it's really unnerving. I could never

Most likely an Air Marshall

I have a follow up: how dare you?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Or just massively forgetful and under prepared. Like me every time I take a flight somewhere

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I spend my 10 hour flight thinking up my next bullshit linkedin post about fully utilizing long flights to be productive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The jet is lagging behind him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

this sounds like me. I spend around 3-5hrs in the car every day at work and im not a big fan of listening to music while in the car. i just like driving

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

But you're driving, are you suggesting that the co-pilot posted this in reference to the pilot? Cause that's the only way this isn't about a psychopath.
