    I feel like we’re REALLY seeing the consequences of leaded gasoline on a generation or something…

      Have you ever thought about the crazy stupid things people did in the past? From using lead pipes in ancient Rome while knowing it was toxic, to blood letting, to witch trials? I used to think, “Man, we humans sure used to be stupid.”

      No. We still are and have always been collectively stupid. Now, the stupidest of us just have the same potential platform as the rest of us to reach out to the other stupid people via the internet.

      That said, the leaded gasoline certainly did us no favours…
