I’m really hoping that was a subtle reference to this masterpiece with Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Walken: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_from_the_Past_(film)
Christopher Walkens character was the ultimate prepper.
Consider if someone grew up in an area of high lead exposure but was, one way or another, protected from it as a child [1]. Should they be treated as having the same recidivism risk factor as someone who suffered the full effects of lead exposure? If not, how do you separate the effects of lead exposure from other factors to recidivism rates?
[1] See the 1999 documentary Blast from the Past.
Eventually kids today will experience life not too unlike Brandon Fraser in the film blast from the past. In total isolation until adulthood. Majorly unprepared for what life has to offer them. But he is smarter than average in that film, but the depth of his social isolation will be reality.
> So I only got 1 bit of information
Be careful. That's basically how the family in the movie "Blast from the Past" ended up locked in their bunker for a few decades.
From the wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Pepper#Marketing):
In the early 1960s, Dr Pepper promoted the idea of serving the drink hot with lemon slices in winter. This idea appeared in the film Blast from the Past initially set in the early 1960s.
