How Growing Up In The 1960s Affected People's Brains (Video)

[worldtalker]

In this video, we explore what growing up in the 1960s actually did to the brain. This was a decade that delivered the impossible and the unthinkable in equal measure. Moon landings and assassinations. Cultural earthquakes and nuclear drills. A childhood that was equal parts freedom and uncertainty. And somehow, it shaped them into some of the most psychologically resilient people walking the planet today.

From the daily rituals that built independence before they even reached the classroom, to the shared moments that imprinted an entire generation with a unique relationship to hope, loss, and everything in between. If you grew up in the 1960s, this will explain why you think the way you do. If you didn't, this will help you understand the people who did.

Well... in defense of us folks in the 60's ... growing up was better than the alternative

I wonder how that differs from those of us who grew up in the 50s.

I've been thinking a lot about how things were back then lately. Especially how just about everyone was getting their general information from the same page you were. These days you never can tell what direction an individual is being lead into.
