Why are some minds busier than others

Something I’ve always wondered about is why do some people’s minds seem to be busier than others? The obvious answer is that some people posses a level of intelligence others don’t. That may explain why some people are able to do more amazing things than others it doesn’t explain why some people just think *more* than others.

It also doesn’t explain why some of us just can’t turn our brains off. Even if we want to.

What brought all this on? Well, A) I always think. And often it’s on this topic. But B) I read this really cool article on Wired about the Worlds Greatest Lock Picker. Basically, he really likes puzzles, he’s insanely (that may be literal) smart and finally he is always thinking about it.

Maybe for some of us there’s a little OCD in us. I have to wonder where the line between *Disorder* and *Gifted* is. Probably because I *supposedly* suffer from a disability. A disorder. Attention Deficit Disorder. Maybe I should come up with a new name for it?
