terrifying thought i just had about how conditioning our attention spans to be so tiny is probably gonna lead to a huge spike in early onset dementia in the future

#woof #why can i not remember what i wore yesterday. why do kids need to watch tiktok with the tv is running while they eat. god it’s terrifying #another effect of COVID i don't see talked about at all is what being stuck at home did to the elderly #(sorry it isn't just a COVID effect. it's car culture/lack of community spaces in general) #but my grandpa was so sharp. speaks 4 languages. was a federal judge back in iraq #being stuck at home in a TV/mobile phone loop for 3 years absolutely destroyed his brain. and now he has MCI #i won't be surprised at all if he gets a dementia diagnosis eventually
