re: CO2, most of the action happens indoors, where concentrations are highest! But yes, the basic story is what you report, i.e. with higher concentrations of CO2 comes lower cognitive function, especially with respect to memory, focus, and strategy/initiative. One of the reasons ventilation matters

Screenshot of The Atlantic website showing an article titled ‘The Right Is Changing the Rules of the Culture War’ with the subtitle ‘For conservatives, cancel culture is in.’ The article is by Thomas Chatterton Williams and published on September 13, 2025. The page features The Atlantic’s logo at the top, a red section with a large white quotation mark graphic, and the publication date at the bottom.

Not a new issue!
This is a page from HOMELESSNESS IS A HOUSING PROBLEM, showing page 177 with the header “Response”. The text discusses the dehumanization of people experiencing homelessness and its impact on social policy. The main body text explains how extreme out-groups may be perceived as less than human, citing brain activity research showing neural patterns of disgust when viewing such groups. It argues that this dehumanization creates psychological barriers between the “deserving” and “undeserving” in policy discussions. The page includes a lengthy block quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1935 State of the Union address, where he expressed concerns about welfare dependency during the Great Depression. Roosevelt’s quote discusses the burden of federal relief programs and argues that continued dependence on relief is spiritually and morally destructive, advocating for work programs over direct relief.
