so exhibit B may have already been in this situation before, and hence their 'prediction' would be more in line with what may be perceived as correct, on the other hand person A may have never experienced anything like this, potentially affecting the way they approach thw problem. That's just one example of predictability, but you can see how the same definition can apply to various varying concepts.

no, look, some people interpret the world differently, they have different risk assessments, reaction times and other factors which all come into play, potentially affecting their JUDGEMENT or the way they play out scenarios in their head. E.g. person A might see doing a specific thing safer as that's what feels right in this scenario, but person B might feel that might not have been the best thing to do, not to mention previous experiences which taught them to do better

Yes, but that was not what the post originally said. Also, good luck explaining 'predictably' to every single individual, where language is so open to interpretation. What you might do in a situation might not be what someone else would. That is all I am arguing. Maybe better phrasing for this post would be drive safely, according to the law? But then that's kind of obvious, so why doesn't everyone just do it?

Yeah, sounds easy when you put it like that. Not everyone has the same level of hand-eye coordination, reflexes, executive functioning etc. Also what one may deem predictable may not be what is predictable to the other, people solve problems in alternate ways, as it has always been the case for humans. What you're basically saying is be a good driver, well some people struggle with exactly that

I am not going to follow along with what others are doing here. To start with, ask yourself if normal things bring you pleasure. Let me give you an example, a neurotypical person would most likely be getting satisfaction out of things such as 'cleaning' or 'meditation' like some of the previous comments have mentioned. When you actually complete an activity, and you do it well, do you feel gratification? If so, yes, those 'normie' activities might work.

If the answer is no, I would start looking beyond that if I was you, specifically your mental health. Pinpoint your shortcomings and rationalise them, for example by writing them down on a piece of paper. Now, I know I said mental health, but you can't have a level head without a good base, right? You're probably expecting me to say diet and exercise, and that would partially be true. But rather than giving you this ambiguous piece of advice, I would first break down your CURRENT diet. This will allow you to pinpoint what may be missing.

Now, to add to that, another thing you could do are, for example, DNA tests to rule any potential bottlenecks beyond your control. This could mean mutations to the MTHFR gene expression, improper thyroid regulation gene expression (hypo/hyper, tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the adrenal gland, by the way very key to producing enough dopamine and consecutively norepinephrine for our body to utilise, and guess what, those are key to motivation and alertness.). Take into account things such as methylation, cholination, any potential vitamin deficiencies (especially the B cat.). What I am trying to say is you want to rule out as many potential factors as you can, to ensure what you aren't overlooking any important cause for any symptoms.

THEN that's when exercise gets good, when you actually feel motivated to do it. Now, I'd at least start by building a small habit (1-2x week). It might not sound like much, but as you get physically healthier and your mental state clearer, there won't be anything stopping you from increasing the frequency. Do you see where I am going with this? If you learn that exercise can feel good, you'll want to do it more often from your own initiative because you'll simply find it engaging.
