China seems much more likely. Their government is far more competent and their institutions are far more solid. India has a lot going for it, english creating a natural alliance with the west is a huge one, but they've got a lot to improve before they can move past china. The demographics in china are an issue, but they'll still have around a billion people and the one child policy reversal is helping fix the issue.
India has a large and young population most of whom will have no prospects. That's a recipe for disaster. India is now trending towards the NIGHTMARE scenario PRC family planning / one child policy was trying to avoid. India has the bodies but not the system to develop and harness/coordinate talent enmass. Even PRC with more competent system couldn't wrangle 1.4B+ people. 100s of millions were left behind. Realistically India is going to have a few 100m being uplifted and 1B+ stuck in informal economy / susbsistent agriculture.
I saw on tiktok (yeah I know) where a lawyer says they never use it because you can be liable for stealing for anything you forgot scan. I never use it cause occasionally the cashier will let you know that there is a coupon for something you are purchasing.
Shared my Adderall experience in response to OP, but didn't mention exercise.
HUGE +1, since I started working out more even just a few weeks ago, my overall happiness, focus, sleep, etc. have all improved massively.
But I think it's worth noting two things:
1. Almost anyone, regardless of medication or diagnosis, can probably benefit from regular exercise. These benefits are well-documented in the general population.
2. The initial benefit of my medication _without_ exercise was enough of a catalyst to help me finally get off my butt, join a gym, and make the decision to invest in personal training as a forcing function to more regular and high-intensity workouts. Until I started taking meds, I had this illusion that I'd come up with a workout plan, commit to it regularly, combine a wide variety of aerobic/anaerobic/freeweight exercises, and all for free with home equipment, YouTube, and some books. All of that was (and still is) absolutely _possible_, but without medication, I procrastinated it all for the better part of 2-3 YEARS. With medication, I quickly came to the conclusion that the time, stress, and inaction of that plan was not worth the money I could spend on making progress. And now I'm regularly working out.
This is huge and as someone with bipolar/adhd the medicine doesn’t work without regular exercise. It makes me more depressed if I don’t (I believe this is the adhd meds)
It's also great for depression; it's just a lot harder to get depressed people to exercise than ADHD people[1], so compliance is worse.
1: Though it's by no means easy to get ADHD people to exercise; most cardio is boring and there's also: "I'm behind on all of my work and personal projects, and you want me to set aside time for recreation?"
