If you're old enough you might remember Americans were much more violent from 1960 to 1995 or so and the crime rate was incredibly high in American cities, leading to what was called white flight.

Now, if you work with young people (so-called zoomers), you'll notice they are absolutely not like this anymore.

At least 30% of this was caused by everyone breathing leaded gasoline.

But lead increases your testosterone! (Look it up.)

Now, all you get is microplastics, which do the opposite.

And testosterone makes you objectively cooler and better as a person. For example, violence is cool.
