Infantilization

I love engaging playfully with these ideas and bringing them, like externalizing them, is what I say.

So we begin questioning, okay, so how do people die? importantly, or usually, and we go from big generalizations to specific, the way that we treat the elderly, the way that sometimes we infantilize.

Infantilize,

yeah.

Yeah, a person that is bedridden The way that we talk over a person that is dying or that is sick, like literally over them to another person about the patient, right? And we don't realize that the things that we say when someone dies, there's this thing we say in Puerto Rico in Spanish, te acompañan los sentimientos.

There's th- this push and this pull, this tug about infantis...

What do they call it? Infantilizing, uh, children until w- it's too old.

So it's very important that this evidence get out there because we have created, this is empirically so, an anxiety-ridden generation.

There's no question about it, right?
