i wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of detectable damage from the centuries of gutting schooling and drowning everyone in omnipresent propaganda, but that's still nurture, not nature
I secretly suspect ADHD is an epigenetic stress response but that's not what we're talking about here lol
"Nature vs Nurture" usually means "how they were born vs what happened after," so one is biological and one is biological + social. Yugopnik is being concerning here, but ~~he isn't actually specifying what he means on this axis because both can be biological.~~
Edit: but he isn't ruling out nurture, as much as I would hope he was past ascribing these problems to "genetics" as a Marxist . . .
Rephrased what I said to be more technically accurate to his bad take
Yes definitely a lot of mental illness but whom amongst us
