Is there a brain defect that would explain this not working right and generating gibberish? I've had "hearing trouble" since I was a baby. I can hear just fine when tested but as I've gotten older I've realized often I hear gibberish and have to ask people to repeat themselves. I wonder if there's some defect that's been in my brain this whole time that would even explain why I didn't respond to voices as an infant. It's not like I have autism though so it's not that. Is there anyone I could contact to get tested? I know it'd require an MRI but I figure if these people are doing studies on it maybe they'd want to see me for free.

For a long time I've believed the collapse happened because some people figured out how to make steel and went nuts over expanding then when their steel production ran out they lost their new territory. There's been plenty of discoveries of high carbon iron in the time period. Be it from meteors or just early attempts at heating iron with charcoal. Remember too that the metal ages mostly only refer to Europe and the time periods fall apart once you start looking at China and Egypt. After all King Tut had an iron dagger in the 14th century BC.
