    I think the biggest difference is that people had the mental capacity of a drunk toddler back then but now we probably average around a drunk teenager level.

      Drunk though people were back then, they were not I don’t want to say retarded by chemical pollution but that.

      That is a traditional use of the word, nothing to do with ableism by the way, they would say that preservative to retard spoilation, for centuries.
