Besides what they listed in the article, I would add lead exposure.

It's a short read, pretty good.

Lead poisoning is still the prevalent theory, I think. It fucks up brain development in ways that make kids tend to sociopathic personalities.

I’m always glad to hear more people know about lead poisoning. It makes a lot of sense.

I’m curious, you got anything light reading you can recommend to ease into the topic, please pm me. I’d appreciate, if it wasn’t another post which basically recites the content of another post, and so on - far too much out there these days)

No. It’s not possible to find light reading about lead.

John Wayne Gacy killed 33 people, that we know of, in his entire life. 21 killed in Uvalde alone.

We just streamlined things.
