hey now, some of our parents at least voted against enshitification.
they didn't do shit like protest or volunteer, but they taught my bro and I empathy quite well.
I like to blame lead, but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence? I think, rather, there is a fundamental flaw in the original patriarchal system that led men to develop toddler-level emotional intelligence, and the women just went along with it.
Now that we have wisened up, accept more diversity, and given some power to women, the toddler men are freaking out because they had their special blanket taken away. And one consequence is accumulation of all the resources.
Sometimes it feels like my mom is the only boomer that isn't a giant pile of shit. But, I guess you don't typically teach special Ed for over 40 years if you're a bad person.
Yes, strongly. Lead exposure, especially in childhood, is known to lower IQ and also decrease empathy.
The other things you mentioned are definitely major factors as well, but yeah all that lead fucked the older generations brains.
Basically Homelander from the boys
Resource hoarding would be a lot less if we all lived in a land of abundance
