We are now half a decade into a pandemic whose speculated long term effects include cognitive decline at the same time as the world has gently sailed past 432 ppm global average atmospheric CO₂. When I was born we were at 337 ppm. The adverse health effects of prolonged high carbon dioxide exposure are many, but include "reductions in higher-level cognitive abilities".
It's not surprising that everything is exceptionally stupid now.
Fucking sucks though
