DEMENTIA STARTS EARLY? The Roots of Dementia Trace Back All The Way to Childhood, Experts Reveal.
“In long-term studies where people have had their cognitive ability tracked across their whole lives, one of the most important factors explaining someone’s cognitive ability at age 70 is their cognitive ability when they were 11,” the study authors explained.
“That is, older adults with poorer cognitive skills have often had these lower skills since childhood, rather than the differences being solely due to a faster decline in older age.”
They used to call it “second childhood” for a reason. Honestly, though, I don’t think the findings in the story are as strong as the headline.

JAMES TARANTO: The SPLC Is A Journalism Scandal.
The SPLC raises money and sustains its relevance by stoking the perception that white supremacy is pervasive and influential. I have argued since 2008 that this aligns the center’s interests with those of supremacist groups. My point received insider validation from a 2019 New Yorker article by journalist Bob Moser, whom the SPLC hired as a writer in 2001. “Though the center claimed to be effective in fighting extremism, ‘hate’ always continued to be on the rise, more dangerous than ever, with each year’s report on hate groups,” Mr. Moser wrote. He and his colleagues came up with a mordant slogan: “The SPLC—making hate pay.”
If the indictment’s allegations are true, the SPLC’s fundraising efforts went beyond hyping hate groups to providing them material support.
