re: #29 The Ghost of Tonalite Gneiss

The psychology of murder/suicide is different than that of suicide. It has very little to do with sadness and anxiety expressed as self-obliteration, and is more about anger and self-pity plus lack of empathy. Going out killing a bunch of other people is a (re-)assertion of power.

Ice said to me earlier that it seems to be an exclusively male phenomenon - not that women don’t kill of course, just that they never seem to do that annihilator routine.
