No, it's not just you — people really are, per a number of surveys, way less intelligent than they used to be.

    My pin is on mold. So many young people I know today in the UK live around mold or likely have mold hiding somewhere due to living in old buildings, likely because it’s the only choice they have.

    I moved to a new building built in 2019 and my brain fog has lifted. Also having an actual apartment with separate rooms to myself and some space at least without selling my soul has massively improved my mental health in general. 50-40% max humidity is where it’s at. Back where I last lived it was 70-90% regularly.

    Mold and most other “nature-y” horrors are often underestimated by people due to green washing propaganda, but even bleach fumes are far safer to inhale even.

        Says the mold. Schools are useless shit anyway you learn fuck all apart from how to speak, read, and argue and think and seeing as most people who all go to the same schools with the same programs never learnt it, I don’t think schools have much of a part in it.
