In this episode, we tackle the really tough but relevant questions: Why do mass shooters, do what they do? Why are they all young men? What's driving them to committ these horrible acts? We explore the characteristics of men and how incompatible they are with modern society and we explore how much more difficult it is for young men today to properly develop and mature and some ideas on how to alleviate that.

On this episode, I delve into my background a little more to explain how I got myself into a life and career path that was destined to fail and how I could have avoided that. I discuss how the standard life philosophy of 'Anything can be accomplished' is misguided and that particularly for people with LD or BIF, it is better to instead, understand and accept our abilities and limitations and then pursue life goals and relationships that correspond to them.
