Plymouth shooting

Very very sad and tragic incident. Thoughts go out obviously to the families of the victims but also to anyone who witnessed the shootings and the Police Officers and Paramedics who were first on scene in the aftermath...

As much as they are expected to deal mentally with tragedy it still takes its toll and seeing a 3 year old who has been shot is not a regular occurrence.. Very sad. RIP to the victims bless them

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Anders Breivik, who shot up dozens of kids at a Norway Socialist summer camp.

He was an Incel, angry about multiculturalism growing in his country.

................

how many of our islamist terrorists have also been Incels ?

Probably most of them I’d wager.

if you look online, our islamic terrorists ?

they seem to be either single Incels or got a young wife and a whole clatter of kids.

not so many terrorists with a childless longterm girlfriend.

I think bizarrely we’re kind of on the same wavelength here, although as always your point is difficult to actually decipher.

I think there’s probably a lot of things common that the Plymouth shooter had that the Manchester bomber had, religion aside.

Some.

Easier to recruit.

Still, it's also true that members have been highly educated and quite successful. It's not an incel army....Religion finds all types.

Every group has an intelligentsia......A high or higher IQ doesn't mean cultural or political agreement.

Yep completely agree. Genuine question as well as I know you put a lot to IQ; do you think IQ automatically means someone who should be in charge of making decisions? Or is EQ equally important?

It's a very good question.

I think the manner of the job matters....obvioiusly you don't want highly intelligent sociopaths. I'd say that If the decisions involve building a bridge or something technical like that, then as long as the law is followed then yes IQ matters more than EI.

If the job involves people, then having social skills will matter more. Not that from my perspective that those skills means someone's a particular type.

It's job dependent......At the very top end you'd hope that meritocracy meant that they had both.

Still, when it comes down to it high IQ matters more.....too much empathy is cufflinks to shirt fronts, in other words decisions made purely on emotion are rarely good ones.....though a very high IQ is nearly always a life benefit in comparison to its alternative.

I agree with you on about 90% of that I’d say. I think the only bit I differ to on that is what you call emotion I call empathy, which is a huge part of leadership. Also, unless something is fully automated or AI smart enough to do it then it involves humans to some extent so it will always be crucial.

Until the robots are smarter than us anyway.

Probably not a long way off.

This bloke as an 'Incel' terrorist spiel is utter bulls***. He shot two men dead. And a little kid. These Incel freaks are meant to have problems with women right?

He was a f*** up who lost the plot. The REAL issue is how the hell he was allowed to get that shotgun back. That is where all the focus should be.

Yes completely the biggest issue. But the other issue is still a big issue.

But it's not. They are freaks. Weirdo's. There is no central organisation, there is no hierarchy, there is no majority agreed tenets of belief or ideology.

They just have mother issues.

Does that mean they should just be ignored? Then no. But I suspect the pathology is far more akin to Serial Killers than terrorists.

These gimps have always existed. Only difference now is that can rant on message boards with each other. A manifestation of the modern world us lot are probably guilty than most in embracing whole heartedly, hence this conversation.

You want him classified as a terrorist because he is white Dan. And that can then assuage the unease you feel about the predominance of non-white terrorists over the last few decades.

Anders Brevik was a terrorist. He attacked people based on a political ideology. This moron was just a fruit-loop. But a fruit-loop with a gun. That's the issue.

Bang on. This effort we see to lump in all of sundry (those on the left who seek to blame 'INCELS' and the far right, and those on the right who seek to link it to 'feminists' and 'alphabet soup' types) fail to see that even the most ardent basement dwellers very rarely behave as this guy did. There's a bit of a difference between being a dropout, and loading a gun and killing a kid. Hopefully those desperate to endlessly politicise to their own advantage will instead for once just take these utterly tragic events at face value.

Flags & ideologies aside for a second.

Sociology & History shows that a society with an over-supply of men ( and an undersupply of women) is

always ALWAYS

...A violent society


Gun control is irrelevant. A nutter drove a lorry into 600 people on Boulevard des Anglais, Nice. Knives are easy to buy.

What really matters is having a minimal number of angry nutters in our society.

Accurate mate.

But that's not how it's going.
