I've taken a few classes that touched on this concept. Most interesting to me is the concept of the two halves seemingly being secular vs deist, essentially. Now I'm wondering if the deist half is the "nonsensical" side, as you described.

The actors did not consent. That's the most important aspect of this and not a single sentence of your comment acknowledges the actual problem or the human beings that were impacted to create this.
Bernie's campaign loved pointing out the average donation was $27. The issue in 2016 was media coverage for him that the Dems knowingly sabotaged iirc.
What do you call a doctor that graduated last in their class? Doctor
Check out restorative justice models. One in Colorado has boasted 95% victim satisfaction and recidivism crashed from 50 down to like 10%. We can use this data to demonstrate what justice models are better, regardless of a definitive definition.
I've slept since I watched and am not great with tech, but iirc the link with the affiliate code when clicked takes you to the site. Then honey has a pop up that, when clicked, replaces the link with their own, swiping the commission. Hope that makes sense - most people likely would not catch it. The Linus tech tips was used as an example of even a tech channel with lots of employees taking quite a while to notice themselves, and even when they did, it wasn't quite conclusive for some reason?
Another thing the video touched on is that honey would claim to search for coupons but often opt to show what the partnered companies want. So, could be there's a coupon for 50% but they only show 10%.
I'll add that two people can experience the same trauma but only one develop PTSD. I started a lecture series on trauma a while back that started off explaining that if you find yourself starting to have symptoms, try to catch yourself and remind yourself that you're in a learning environment. That's just one method, and it can be difficult to maintain without further education and training
Just made me realize I haven't seen any geese this year. Normally they absolutely litter the pond near my place
Do you have research that demonstrates this conclusively? I've taken courses in psychology of aging, lifespan development, brain & behavior, etc. None of them discussed such a claim for everyone, but it's possible I didn't pay well enough attention.
I asked ChatGPT as well, and it's disagreeing with you, for the record. There are changes and differences, but the brain is a muscle like any other that requires training. Learning new skills, solving puzzles, etc. is correlated to the maintenance and/or improvement of the organ over the lifespan.
Cognitive decline is not inherent to old age. It is something to look out for.
Maybe I wasn't clear that the initial problem came from the actors being minors. The scene would have been fine if they had been capable of consent. It's fucked that Zeffirelli tricked them, even more so because we recognize now they couldn't have knowingly consented to begin with. It's similar to the backlash from the movie Cuties. I personally loved the message behind it and appreciated as an adult woman some of the struggles I dealt with at that age represented, but casting children for those roles was not ok.
I'll add that while we didn't have the same legal system when R&J was filmed, I apply my moral standards regardless. The same harm occurred whether it was legal or not.
