Millions of tweets like this and still so many not grasping the reason why this may be occurring. It’s a global issue.

How many times can I keep shouting the same thing and it not sink in?

COVID CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE FRONTAL AND TEMPORAL LOBES.

THIS CAN CAUSE SOCIOPATHY.

And no it is NOT ableist to state factual information which is relevant to an ongoing and worsening worldwide situation.

The longer this is allowed to continue, the worse it will get, the harder it will become to get a neurocognitive deficient population to notice and/or care!

More details in this thread.

I am NOT saying everyone has Frontotemporal Dementia, or that Covid even causes this type of dementia.

But damage to this region DOES mimic symptoms of FTD.

When will you all take this seriously?

Losing my frigging mind.

Sociopathic behaviour? More aggression and violence? Nah it’s not happening.

Shall we blame lockdowns?

USA ⬇️ UK ⬇️

More dangerous driving? Don’t be silly, it’s not happening.

An increase in anti social behaviour amongst the population, in theatres, at concerts, on planes.

It’s not happening!!!

Worsening racism? Not happening.

Worsening sexism/misogyny? Even in children?

Not happening.

More stealing and shoplifting?

Not happening.

(Some is attributable to rising costs, but 400% is inordinate)

UK⬇️ Australia🤦‍♂️

More indecent exposure? Not happening.

(FTD is associated with new onset sex offenses, including indecent exposure, sexually inappropriate comments, and unwanted sexual advances)


I guess it’s extremely unfair of me to expect anyone to notice, especially if it’s happening to themselves.

If you’re not noticing any of this, you should be worried. It’s obvious now.

Lowered inhibitions:

“In psychology, disinhibition is defined as a lack of restraint manifested in disregard of social conventions, impulsivity, and poor risk assessment.”

POOR RISK ASSESSMENT.

What would poor risk assessment look like?


The reason I’m shouting this as loud as I can now is because I see the impacts that these kinds of neurological maladies have on people every day of my life.

And it’s heartbreaking.

It’s traumatising.

It’s terrifying.

And if this happens to nearly all of us? Well, f*@k.
