Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?
The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn’t slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?
Shit.
This kind of reads like meditation, these words somehow have a calming effect. Like a call to be conscious and just take in the current moment and the surrounding vibes.
Also, I’m kind of high right now, so maybe it’s just that, but thanks for your insights!
