00:00:00.400 Greetings my esteemed subscribers! I have stumbled upon yet another interesting headline,
00:00:06.480 this time at National Geographic. I actually used to subscribe to the magazine when I was younger.
00:00:13.760 National Geographic, good stuff! But since then they have become a bit more heretical in certain
00:00:21.200 regards, as I'm sure some of you are aware. But anyway, they produce some good content anyway,
00:00:27.200 as we can see in this case. So we have the article at hand, mercury poisoning makes birds act
00:00:33.760 homosexual. Then we have the white ibis, here in the picture, who have been contaminated by mercury.
00:00:42.240 So I'm gonna read on a bit in the article before elaborating a bit myself. Male birds that eat
00:00:49.440 mercury contaminated food show surprising homosexual behavior, scientists have found. In a recent
00:00:56.400 experiment in captive white ibises, many of the males exposed to the metal chose other males as
00:01:02.560 mates. These male and male pairs did everything that a heterosexual pair would do, said study leader
00:01:10.400 Peter Frederick, a wildlife ecologist at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Cool name,
00:01:16.320 by the way, Gainesville. I hope they have good gyms there. So anyway, they continue elaborating a bit
00:01:23.680 on what these birds are doing. Not really necessary for our purposes today. Something that is interesting
00:01:31.040 though is this point. Contaminated birds produce fewer babies. The article states that the metal also
00:01:40.400 impact the heterosexual couples. Overall, female birds exposed to mercury yielded 35% fewer babies than the
00:01:49.040 control group. So obviously bad for both males and females. And the study goes on. I can link it
00:01:57.120 below in the description box if you will, if you want to read the entire thing. But I just thought to
00:02:04.800 say that I will make another video on homosexuality because I made one a few years ago which wasn't the
00:02:11.360 most enlightened in its nature. So I will make another one stating my positions on the homosexuality
00:02:19.200 question. But what I will say there is to a certain extent at least the same thing I said when I discussed
00:02:25.760 the transgender question a few weeks back. And that is that a large component, if we're talking about
00:02:32.960 this sort of thing, is looking at what may have caused an increase in homosexuality. For example,
00:02:39.520 in humans I mean. Has there been some environmental impact? Maybe this also works in humans. That, you know,
00:02:48.560 a child exposed to a lot of mercury as a young boy will turn out to be homosexual. It's a very interesting
00:02:55.760 and important thing to study, in my humble opinion. So if we're looking upon all of these sort of things,
00:03:02.560 I have said it before, I'll say it again, I do believe that it has a lot to do with hormonal
00:03:07.600 pollutions. All of these sort of maladies in the modern world. So transgenderism, for example,
00:03:15.280 I'm absolutely certain that it has a lot to do with the body being disrupted, the hormones of the body
00:03:22.720 being disrupted by environmental factors. The water we drink is contaminated, the fish we eat perhaps
00:03:30.000 also contaminated. So this is definitely something I would like to delve deeper into. I would definitely
00:03:36.800 like to see more studies being done upon these sort of things. How what you eat affects what you are,
00:03:44.800 how you turn out. And it makes perfect sense. What you eat is the building blocks of your body,
00:03:50.240 so make sure to eat a good diet. Now, obviously, in the modern world, you don't know what has been
00:03:55.360 contaminated either. You may think that you have a very clean diet consisting of a lot of fish,
00:04:00.800 but if the fish is all contaminated by mercury, yeah, it might not be good for you either. So anyway,
00:04:07.760 I will elaborate in a coming video, might be next week or something. I will elaborate on the
00:04:15.040 homosexuality question. But until then, it's definitely interesting to study the effects that
00:04:21.920 pollution can have on the biology and psychology of both humans and animals. So anyway, thank you for
00:04:28.400 watching. XOXO, BOOM!
