My job has made me into a TBI truther. Brain injuries are devastating to cognition, self-regulation, and a bevy of other health outcomes. It's linked to a zillion bad social outcomes.
Forget about every other factor that determines human development outcomes: forget about genes, IQ, pollution, whatever. All of that shit is easily washed out by one good fall off of a bike. But unlike genes, we can actually do something about protecting brains.

2. HOLD ON TO THE RAIL WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE BATH
3. NEVER GET ONTO THE ROAD WHILE DRUNK OR IMPAIRED, INCLUDING ON A BICYCLE
