Lead posisoning was a disease the white man brought to the entire world.

Thomas J. Midgley, the inventor, perpetrator and chief apologist for leaded gasoline, also brought the world CFCs. Veritasium did a bit on him and was not kind. In fact he implied Midgley may have been the worst mass murderer in human history.

The other day I had a chilling thought, after a day with both gardening and another conversation with my friend whose estranged boomer mother is probably a narcissist: we know about lead poisoning and violence, but has anyone studied lead poisoning and narcissism?
