Hmm, that looks a lot like someone stuck sails on a Roll On-Roll Off vehicle transport vessel. RoRos have a lot of stability problems though, no one would be that stupid...

.. what's going on with the fantail? Is that a Ro-Ro door?

... oh look, according to the website they've secured 9m Euro to start building the Orcelle Horizon the same loving RoRo hull with a different paintjob. This will end well, I'm sure.

anecdotally, most of my millennial friends/acquaintances who have had kids, it's like a solid 1/3rd rate that the kids are notably neurodivergent. granted that's a small sample pool overall though so it's a worthless anecdote

In the schools I've been hearing the number of kids who are neurodivergent and/or on an IEP is way up compared 10-20 years ago. The Class of 2023 was born in ~2005. No official data to back this up, but I would be very interested to see per-capita rates over time.

i've heard the argument that more and more people are being diagnosed with brain things because we've become better at diagnosing brain things

i think this is a sort of half-truth where we're getting less false positives due to better diagnostic criteria and testing but there's also a lot more people with spicy brain

that's right. that argument is largely just cope

granted, it makes it impossible to make apples-to-apples comparison of prevalence because criteria and sociological phenomenon and psychiatric acknowledgements do change overtime, but even best accounting for evaluation is showing huge rise of bad brains (or the fancy scientific terms is internalizing behavior and social impairment characteristics). even teachers who've been doing this poo poo since the 80/90s have noticed it too, and they're the ones that live day in and day out.

It's a boring luddite take, but I don't see how the invention of the cybernetic attention economy isn't driving the prevalence of attention deficit disorders. It's been shown that the more you multi-task the worse you get at it and I have to assume that iPad kids are getting their brains blown out by the youtube and twitch algorithms. That's gotta show up as inhibited executive functioning.

As a former teacher, this is obviously the case. In my area, it used to be that there was maybe one or two kids in a given year that needed specific assistance/intervention/aides, now it's more like one per class. People like to say that it's because we're better at diagnosing things, but it's very obviously more than that if you compare it to your own time in schools. It's also not just mild cases, either, which is what you'd think you'd end up with if we were better at diagnosing it -- it's like we'd be better at picking up the less-visible cases If I think back to my schooling, there were like two kids who needed interventions and maybe three or so other kids who were, in retrospect, high-functioning autistic who'd probably end up diagnosed these days. But then, when teaching, I was dealing with neurodivergent students that were way more severe than anything I'd experienced before. It was really startling.

I read something years ago that seemed to make it pretty clear that screen time from a young age was having a drastic effect on the ability of kids to recognize facial expressions and other interpersonal skills. It was very bad news. Some of the schools I taught had done these programs where every kid got an iPad or whatever, and they were trying to walk them back in favor of returning to textbooks and such when I left the profession.

Yup. Although to be fair, this isn't just a computer thing. We've known for many decades that home school kids, who learn in isolation, are identically hosed up in this respect too. Throwing people infront of an ipad from an early-age is a similar form of development-in-isolation. There's a lot more research coming out in this field too the past year and a ton on the horizon

one of my friends teaches public school in SF and has also made good points that pre-pandemic vs post-pandemic kids are immensely more hosed up. but that's a different (and unrelated) issue.

And yeah this has been a big thing about the whole "it's just better testing!" because it's also clearly not for these reasons. What you'd see is more minor cases detected instead of severe cases, but severe cases are very notably higher and those aren't things that are easily swept and ignored.
