The "Obedient Generation" article was a great read.

I worry deeply about someday being older and less capable and living in a society led by children bred to be vicious tyrants.

wow, great collection, Tessa.... fyi, Bayer now Bayer Monsanto, during the Holocaust, Bayer became part of IG Farben, a powerful German chemical conglomerate, in 1925. As part of the IG Farben conglomerate, which strongly supported the Third Reich, the Bayer company was complicit in the crimes of the Third Reich. In its most criminal activities, the company took advantage of the absence of legal and ethical constraints on medical experimentation to test its drugs on unwilling human subjects. They experimented upon people in Dachau, Auschwitz. Birkenau in Block 20, the women's camp hospital. There, doctors tested Bayer pharmaceuticals on prisoners who suffered from and often had been deliberately infected with tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other diseases. In Buchenwald, physicians infected prisoners with typhus in order to test the efficacy of anti-typhus drugs, resulting in high mortality among test prisoners. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/bayer
