On days like this, I wonder if pollutants haven't poisoned the brains of 60% of our population while psychiatric meds flattened the emotions and detached the thinking of at least 50% (with overlap). I just remember people not clouding their minds with hatred, way out of proportion to transgressions, and not generating fantasy reasons to hate their targets even more.
Also, how is it our leadership (on psych meds?) reacts with cool deliberation after being terrorized by a murderous mob? I can't imagine this in the '50s & '60s.
You wouldn't see this in the 19th century, when alcohol and nicotine were the principal anti-depressants, and in an environment with reduced pollutants. No, then, a Senator could beat another one within an inch of his life on the Senate floor, and be cheered. I call that a very focused, very limited riot.
Hey, when lead was phased out of gasoline the murder rate dropped. It dropped the same way in EVERY COUNTRY WHEN IT WAS REMOVED. Our brains operate on chemicals. Chemicals that get into our brains affect our thinking and emotions and in unpredictable ways.
It's quite possible that the hatred, chaos, and social stagnation that has seized our society is nothing more than a continuous, collective drug trip, with unfortunate real-world consequences.
