    Plastic is very durable, will it make my brain last longer?
    Also plasticity of the brain is a crucial function, if it benefits the plasticity that would be great too.

    “Will allow” is absolutely irrelevant, if it’s in the environment there is no way to control it individually.

      It, checks notes, makes you stupid. Joking.

      Thing is, we could control it if we took it seriously. So really it does come down to how much we should allow. At what point will we take action?

        This is not a matter for personal action.
