Terry Pratchett’s novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, our new study suggests in c/fiction@literature.cafe

@Khaliso I may have to wait some time after my mom's battle with her dementia. Right now, it's too close. But, sounds like very important film work.

We know that millions of people are dealing with this, including caregivers. Highly visible celebs like Pratchett, Gene Hackman, and Bruce Willis, give us a sense of how pervasive it is. Robin Williams did not want to put his family through it. I can kind of understand that decision now.

@silence7 correct. You have to prove that they knew.

@silence7 We could start with the fact that they pushed a false narrative about climate change, while raising all of their oil platforms ahead of rising seas.
