TL;DW Lead makes you lose intelligence and your life more difficult. Gen X got the worst of it. And yes it's backed up with research and was largely caused by capitalism.

Edit: screenshot of graph that shows the gen x part

    Gen X got the worst of it.

    What?

    Did you literally not watch it and trying to summarize?

    usually, TL;DW is for people who dont want to watch the video at the moment, but are still curious about it

    It also usually accurately summarizes the video rather than misinterpreting it...

    The video say it's older millennials, people around 40ish. But explicitly states multiple times that economics is the greatest predictor of exposure.

    “GenX was hit the hardest” is a direct quote from the video, timecode 17:02

    Yes there is more than just that one quote to consider, but what are you doing saying it wasn’t in the video?

    From the thumbnail, I figured it was hookworm.

    Probably has nothing to do with the economic crash and housing crisis in 2008 where a fuck ton of people lost their homes and their everything. Probably weren't preyed upon at their most vulnerable or anything like that.

    Or the 30k ~ 50k people dead every year for the last three decades from gun violence. The equivalent of a major conflict every year never ending.

    Or locking up more people than any other nation. Five percent of the world's population but twenty percent of the world's prison population.

    Or a society of excess that has almost 25 vacant houses for every homeless person but chooses to allow people to rot on the streets as an example of what will happen if you don't "conform".

    Or a society that has the largest military in the world by orders of magnitude that profiteers off of every conflict by doing things like arming both sides. Don't forget overthrowing democratic governments to install fascist ones.

    Or a society that produces more wealth inequality than anyone else (finally American exceptionalism) and then allows these people to control the government and make all the decisions to benefit them and their friends.

    I could probably go on for a bit longer, but that is enough to chew on.

    Is the answer lead poisoning?

    Seems like it.
