Did he mention love at any time in the 4 parts?

I see: Adam Lanza was a liberal. That way lies the abyss, watery chaos, the worm and the flame.

The model for the current GOP can be fairly described as a cross between Lanza and Sidney Powell. Every Republican is somewhere on that spectrum between spectacularly violent and compulsively dishonest.

Are we certain that these shooters would not have been serial killers in 1980? Are we certain they’re not the 1% or so of psychopaths/sociopaths inclined to violence, but adapting to a modern surveillance state?

Been thinking about this podcast all day.

What was so fascinating to me, and so troubling, is how un-psychotic and rational he sounded. Yes, his theories were deeply peculiar and not necessarily expressed completely coherently, but he arrived at them through a clearly considered thought process. Perhaps the interaction with the commentator he perceived as so hostile is a clue for how, exactly, he got pulled so far into what was clearly an act of evil. When confronted with a challenge to his philosophy his response was to pull away completely rather than reflect and moderate. Indeed, it's that very demand for moderation that seems to be so offensive to him--that's really what culture is doing (at least as he formulated it), moderating our internal instincts.

Anyways, certainly no easy path to address a situation like his. Just ordering up some therapy isn't going to begin to address what's going on in the calculated thoughts of someone like him.

Will part 2 cover the time Lanza called into a radio show to share his analysis of the Travis the chimp story?
