High CO2 levels are known to negatively impact the brain's ability to think and feel.
Just something to think about. π

Iirc a Harvard study about 10 years ago found cognition began to be hindered at about 500ppm, with the insides of skyscrapers getting around 2000ppm.
We're getting pretty close to 500 ppm these days... 
Yeah, and that's just outside. Interiors of homes are almost certainly at least 800ppm or so.
I stopped doing it for some reason, but when I lived in another home I used to keep all my windows open at all times, just slept with the ceiling fan. I was doing it with the purpose of keeping CO2 levels low because I knew of the effect it had on cognition. That was during lockdown and college was online at the time, so I feel like it may have made a difference in helping me stay on top of things while doing online learning. At least there was a placebo effect from knowing I was doing something that would give me a leg up.
Yeah, and indoor air circulation isn't getting any better. As atmospheric concentrations increase, indoor concentrations will also increase many times over.
@grok is this post a banger or what

Instead of listening to some lady in a cave tripping on fumes and interpreting her hallucinations, they are huffing their own farts and interpreting the hallucinations of an LLM they wrote they wrote to be a racist sex chatbot for incels.
It all started with a rock is this real
just got back from chinese social media where a british guy was weeping on camera talking about how living in china is a blessing because its such a friendly and wonderful country of people who care about each other and hes so glad to live there where its safe and his kids can get a good education and have a bright future
@guck is this true
Intelligence is made up. It doesnβt exist. Itβs an idealogical tool used to enforce hierarchies.
If you want to split hairs, intelligence as a fixed trait of a person might not exist, but the degree to which people want to learn and question things is definitely decreasing.
If you want to split hairs even further, it might make more sense to talk about people having different "intelligences" in different skills and areas of life, rather than using "intelligence" as a single, all-encompassing description of all intellectual ability.
So what you're saying is that intelligence is... artificial?
@hellai is the world a bad place?
