How can some people bear the delusion we call our world

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

MA State Rep. Jack Lewis (D) was caught on hot mic during a Pride event mocking lgbtq people saved in his phone, giving them names such as "lady guy" and "gay guy” and “dog guy”

These are the people who lecture us about "homophobia"

American water heater repairman says he’s noticed the average new water heaters last only about 7-10 years and then they must be replaced

But when he comes across old ones like this one from 1956, they last forever

This is because of a business model called Planned Obsolescence and it’s a business strategy companies now use to engineer produces to fail after a certain among of time

This way you have to keep buying the same product over and over again

This is a scam

The Nazis were the last knights of Europe. They tried to stop the current jewish Judeo Bolshevik "New World Order" that we all now live inside of. It required 3 world super powers to stop them, one of them being an openly Judeo Bolshevik state - Russia.
