Hey! Remember these hot news stories?
- The COVID pandemic? It’s still going on! We’ve got five times the number of new infections as this same time last year. No one cares.
- The war in Ukraine? There’s even more shelling of civilians now! No one cares.
- School shootings? Give it a week, we’ll stop caring about those, too. In a week, there will probably be a couple more, and we won’t even notice.
There are probably some other major events, but I forgot them.
Can an entire country, or possibly an entire species, come down with acute Alzheimer’s disease?
