    We really don’t need a word for:

    Normal effects of aging compounded with lead poisoning

    Because later generations are gonna experience aging too, and while we have nowhere near Boomer’s lead level, it’s still enough to effect us.

    We’ve known about this shit for decades, if people would just learn about it instead of making up catchy buzzwords, we could actually try to mitigate it.

      seems like you sorta went off the headline and not the content as the entire article talks about emotional health and regulation.

      obviously lead is not an advantageous difference, but it’s also disingenuous to imply it’s the difference in generations.

        as the entire article talks about emotional health and regulation.

        No I read it…

        They’re describing the effects of lead poisoning and the normal effects of aging…

        Both of which cause a loss of critical thinking, a fall back on stereotypes from childhood, and aggressive belligerence in response to frequent confusion.

        You could have asked more, or just googled it…
