does screen time make you retarded?

so that strawman really doesn't fly with me.
Anon, I wasn't trying to put up a strawman or imply you are "crazy". I don't know you and you exposed a problem, so I offered a bunch of possibilities, that's why I said "maybe".
Then you wanted to argue that it's not just eye damage but the use of computers that make you dumb, to which I replied that since the possibilities with computers and types of content displayed by screens are so vast it seems strange to assume they all cause the same mental issues like addiction (which so far is proven to be caused by things like porn, social media, or videogames, the last two of which are addictive because they are designed to be so.)
You linked no scientific sources to back up your claims. Searching for articles about the effects of pulse-width modulation and temporal dithering on the brain gives me nothing (on DDG and SP at least) except for articles on eye strain, so I assumed your "maybe" and "probably" were just assumptions.
It's odd that you accuse me of ad-hominems when almost every statement you made was loaded with them.

Maybe reading those few Wiki articles and browsing Facebook and imageboards is unhealthy for you? I'm not sarcastic. Maybe you're burned out and you need some time offline. If you got bothered enough by it to make a post, it might be worth trying to take a few days off.
