Most people (even Marxists) tend not to like deceptively simple answers to complex questions, but in this case it’s true
Between the 1920s and 1970s hundreds of millions of people around the globe were permanently brained damaged by one of the most acute neurotoxins known to humankind, a toxin that after wrecking childhood havoc on the brain and nervous system accumulates within the bones of poisoned people as they age, as these people get older their bones get softer and more opaque which releases the accumulated toxin back into their system for a second time
This life-time medical condition is super-charged by the burdens of capitalism and the aftermath of WW2 leading to a genuinely stunted generation of human beings
