  • The rejection of fanaticism went out the door along with E Pluribus Unum in the 50’s when the Christian nationalists forced their religion on the national motto. Then over the next decade black people were lynched and attacked with fire hoses when they were asking for basic rights.

    They also started conversion camps where they emotionally and sometimes physically and secually abuse minors in conversion camps to attempt to change sexual orientation.

    I believe it was Nixon who helped foem fox News to pull the Republicans further right and we’ve been seeing the consequences of that.

    Basically the fanaticism has always been there, but with the internet and social media, it’s easier for them to make their voice heard.
















  • In your younger years, you have a lot more to look forward to that’s tied to your age: first decade, teen years, driving, getting a job, voting, making your own decisions, second decade, and drinking age. After that, the only things that are still age locked are at 25 when you can rent a car and your insurance goes down, the other decades, and legal age requirements for reaching certain political offices. There just isn’t much else to look forward to at a specific age, so it’s not as important for your brain to remember.

    Misremembering people’s names is not related to the age. A chunk of the population is really great at remembering names and another chunk remembers faces better. I’m more of a face person, I will most likely recognize you, but might not remember your name.
