A fascinating line of thought in this thread by @crimkadid
My pet theory is that the explosion in autism can be linked to the shift to ultra-processed food and, especially, to a high sugar diet. This configures the brain in a different way.

I am going to argue later that they are overall physically superior, that millennials add muscle easily for the same reason they add fat. The same factors that stunt height stunt muscle too, which you can see in athletes from the black and white era
In other words, there are ups and downs. Young athletes are more like Zion Williamson and less like Larry Bird

But NBA players are better 3 point shooters now than in the Larry Bird era.

I don't mean shooting: Bird only averaged 1.9 3 point attempts a game anyway. I mean his overall perfectly coordinated movement: his hands, his feet, even his eyes. I used to think athletic vision was mental until I saw the way Bird's eyes movedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5L-uuBqFic&t=42s …
