Yes, Dude, your post is what made me think about processing speed. I resonated with your description of the thrill of quick decisions and lightning fast interactions... and realized this is exactly what the rest of my family doesn't enjoy.
You can train to increase your speed in sports... does this translate to other areas of life or is it a single-domain skill? I think my increased speed in skiing does not improve the speed of my reading Russian... but is there some overlap? Or is it more the thrill of feeling happy and competent and energized that spill into other areas of life? Research or opinion, anyone?
As far as the OP, it is certainly interesting when our kids don't love the same things we loved as kids!
