Something I had never heard of before, but Just watched a docu-movie of actual case that seemed bear it out.
This is the hypothesis that if you do not learn to talk before puberty, it is close to impossible to be able to form and speak in sentences after this time.
In the documentary/movie, A young girl had been held captive in the basement of the house by her deranged father, until she was discovered at the age of 12 or so.
Without any apparent contact with anyone else, even her mother!!.

San Francisco-based DoorDash is requiring engineers to deliver food — and they’re furious
An engineer with a reported total compensation, or TC, of $400,000 a year griped about the responsibility of having to do a once-a-month delivery. “What the actual f—k?” the engineer wrote on the platform. “I didn’t sign up for this, there was nothing in the offer letter/job description about this.”

Keep in mind that the media sells mainly two products: Fear and Scandals ... it doesn't matter if their news are real or fake as long as they draw attention and clicks...
 
Oh baloney. It depends on what media outlet you consume. I know several that provide information and education. But I suppose you are right in some sense. There are plenty of outlets selling fear. Take Fox for example. And fox can be very addictive, especially for people who think of themselves as Conservatives. What does that mean anymore?

Take Fox for example.
Watch yourself, you're treading on hallowed ground talking about Fox to this crowd. But I totally agree, Fox, Newsmax and OAN spread more fear and anguish than all of the others combined. and people eat it up, the openly complain that the "other guys" are the ones spreading fear to make money. I watch all of the different "news" channels and only a few are really news anymore, the others are opinion spreaders, for those that can't think for themselves.
