I call bullshit on you comparing what was obviously a 2000s+ phenomenon with that of closer to the 1800s.

Less: "its a bubble"

More: "labor market and consumer spending is less meaningful than ever before"

The masses are unable to truly internalize the latter.

The T-Rex was originally reported to have the same exact speed as the Tinny Lizzie, the Ford Model T.

The King Carnivore...how many horses did the Model T put out to pasture?

Almost as if the discovery of the former...had greater purpose.

But it's so satisfying to one's ego that a single cause is the issue. All complexity of societal changes in the last 50 years can be outmanuevered. Simplification is sexy.

The best is yet to come.

My son is non verbal, non mobile.

We live the life of the Servant. We used to define ourselves by our profession, now we define ourselves as "special needs parent". This is a step closer to actually being more human. How trivial our lives were before, how we wasted so many hours on shit that didn't matter!

It's as if no one realizes their phone as a monochrome mode, which can be set as an 'accessibility' shortcut via simple button press.

Black and white kills the dopamine cycle and brings color back to your real life.

Hijacking this to give advice critical for a baby who is only a few months old.

OP, are you in the US? Contact your states "Birth To 3" program immediately. You can get a Vision Specialist to come to your house. I imagine other countries have similar programs.

Reading the rest of the thread, you HN'ers are very blessed to be ignorant that such a program exists.
