Just had a horrifying realisation. It seems clear there is a window of opportunity for a human brain to learn to process language. Once that opportunity is lost, language cannot be learned.

So does not exactly the same apply to the ability to think critically? Have we lost an entire generation? Not only are they never taught to apply such skills, they are told to do so is a moral evil and is ‘hate’.

Is this a deliberate strategy?

Do I need a new tin foil hat?

Interesting blog sent to me by DM, thanks. Emphasis on adolescence as unique window of opportunity. But some want to deny this process to children? What will be the impact on their developing brain?
