Testosterone down 50% since 1970.
Childishness up slightly more than that.
- mjfs 1mo agoI'm sure those two stats are definitely related. What a childish thing to say.

- mitxela 1mo ago>The puer covets independence and freedom, opposes boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable. Isn't that the opposite of this?
- mjfs 1mo agoThe word "testosterone" is not mentioned on this page at all. Nor any other hormones.
- andai 1mo agoWell I was just noting a suspicious correlation. (Also childishness is up a lot more than 50%, in case my tone was unclear :) But you've given me quite an interesting endocrinology research project here. Last I heard, the root cause of the drop remains unknown. (And it's still dropping.)
