    I was gonna make a comment about the theories on how child raising and alcohol and other factors are often proposed to make a case that half of everyone in history would be considered deeply traumatized and developmentally impaired… But honestly that’s too dismissive of the vast majority of human history for a discussion of what a “normal” human is.

      Actually that’s a good point. I’ve often thought that the reason the Baby Boomer generation has such a notorious reputation is due to their fathers coming back with severe PTSD. Previous gen before that had the Great Depression. We’re still dealing with early 20th century trauma to this day.

        Don’t forget lead and other heavy metal and environmental pollution having clear and proven effects on peoples aggression.

        No wonder that in the days of drinking out of lead cups and using lead for plumbing, murder and general brutality was far more common.

        Romans are a really good example of all this. They had so much lead in their system you couldn’t take an X-ray of them if you wanted.
