there's another force at work.....massive autism rise (not a good thing, though Hollyweird tries to portray it as good), food allergies, youth cancer/illness, "PTSD," drug use / deaths, suicides, "mindfulness" fad, massive increase in caffeine-consumption (Which means people are getting tired / brain fog more often). There's a new word for us - "Brain fog." Know when that came about?
Growing up as GenX - no such thing as Monster Energy, 5 Hour Energy, super charged Starbucks, etc...sure there was Jolt Cola - but that was an outlier / niche, Marijuana use, wine/beer consumption increase..and basically a pandora's box of ill effects....too many to list here.
Emotional weakness (as alluded to in article)...is just one sign of many.
Learning about brain waves (Every thought/emotion is an electrical impulse, no?) ...and what affects them..... IMAGE SEARCH: brain waves delta gamma beta
find some nice graphs....of brain waves. From calm to excited/restlessness. What energy around us could affect the waves in our body & mind?
Ask more questions.... QUESTION EVERYTHING Including the thing you might be holding in your hand. Which implies you are "smart" but really makes you "stupid."
...well SLR forum is not the place for a full deep on discussion about this....but thought I'd just drop a few thoughts.
