New Research Shows Cognitive Decline Begins At 45
An anonymous reader writes "New research shows people might start to suffer from cognitive decline as early as age 45. The research, which looked at over 7000 people between the ages of 45 and 70 when the study started, watched participants over a 10 year period. Disturbingly enough, even the youngest participants started declining immediately."
The study was carried out on British civil servants.
The 10-year period covered by the study happens to coincide with the last Labour government, which leads me to propose the alternative hypothesis that having to implement really stupid policies with all their inherent contradictions leads to excessive wear and tear on the brain.
The moral? Socialism is bad for you, especially if you're one of the ones doling it out.
