Well to be fair, brain damage can make anyone dumber.
More conservative, as well. It’s rather interesting - anecdotally my grandma’s second husband used to be a kitten loving sweetheart who wrote poetry. He got some concussions when we were tiny and he turned into the most bigoted racist sexist crude unfiltered festering asshole of a person.
Though I’ve read a few times from different sources that tends to be the case.
I was the opposite. My concussion made me leave mormonism
For Legal reasons this is a joke
Kinda funny, but I left the church after I got decompression sickness from scuba diving.
Like the suffering was so much that it convinced you there is no god?
Not the pain but the psychological and personality changes lead to it.
There is a lot more to decompression sickness than I was aware, then. I'll have to read up a bit.
I had stage 2 where the nitrogen bubbles traveled to the brain. Since I was not diagnosed right away they believe proteins started to form around the bubble. So after multiple “trips” in the hyperbaric chamber I was still experiencing negative symptoms.
