    TL;DW Lead makes you lose intelligence and your life more difficult. Gen X got the worst of it. And yes it’s backed up with research and was largely caused by capitalism.

          It also usually accurately summarizes the video rather than misinterpreting it…

          The video say it’s older millennials, people around 40ish. But explicitly states multiple times that economics is the greatest predictor of exposure.
