I definitely feel a lot dumber compared to ~8 years and three kids ago. Lack of sleep, lack of agency, continuous need for some background level of vigilance...

Oh I'm not arguing that the study is flawed, I'm saying it's not applicable to the point of the post

Haha I even think I love cleaning up their puke because the constant stressors made me dumber.

Having a kid may have dinged my raw intelligence but the forced ruthless prioritization of what I do and what I value doing has actually made me more competent at home and work

Agreed 100%, my bullshit tolerance has gone to zero. You want to bikeshed this backlog shit we'll probably never get around to doing? Without me yo, I'm out.

It’s debilitating in my experience.
