A YouTube talk by Dr. Tabatha Barber arguing that human bodies are overwhelmed by modern toxins—both chemical (plastics, environmental chemicals) and informational (social media). The speaker emphasizes bodily resilience but suggests bodies lag behind rapid societal change, noting children have adapted behaviorally to constant information exposure.
Our bodies are struggling on a daily basis to detoxify, detoxify the plastics, detoxify the chemicals, detoxify all of the mental information that is coming in on social media like it's overwhelmed. God made our bodies crazy, resilient, and our children actually don't know any other way of life. So their bodies have adapted to this overwhelming volume of information that comes in at them. You know, so our bodies don't advance as quickly as our society does. Our brains do an amazing job of keeping up, but our brain, our bodies are still trying to get there, right?
