    It’s not brain damage. That’s another form of the perennial “it’ll be fine once the oldies are dead” fantasy. It’s just regular not-too-smartness plus selfishness and the fear and personality issues you identify. If nothing changes there will be plenty of people like this in the lead-free generations too.

      Brain damage is not limited to the elderly. Also, environmental brain damage is never going to go away. There is no waiting for them to die.
