- I'm not surprised by the fact that this person randomly killed Dr. LaFage, what I am surprised by is the lack of understanding of violence and the claim to have never wanted to commit a violent act. That's weird to me, because I was under the impression that everyone has wanted to commit a violent act at least once in their lives. Now, I've never shot a gun, never had a fight outside of the one in elementary school, never even taken a self-defense class, but I have been angry or scared enough to want to hurt someone. I mean, that's normal.
I also find the pretense that this terrible incident is "unexplainable" a bit disingenuous. It seems obvious to me that the person didn't really intend on even shooting someone, or was wholly unprepared for the reality of shooting someone. Otherwise, they would have taken the purse, and probably would have had enough control not to shoot Dr. LaFage in the first place. I mean, has no one in this story ever entered into a situation that they were unprepared to deal with yet at the same time felt they had to, and then seriously screwed it up? Cause that's what it looks like happened here.
- Great show guys, although a little disappointed in the fact that scientists believe that human beings form pair bonds due to the way our young develop, was not mentioned. Not only is there a relatively long gestation, but also a comparatively long growth cycle from childhood to adolescence, mostly due to our very large brains. This could be an explanation for why we have families, to maintain a stable environment with which to raise our young.. I was also surprised that there was no investigation of the neurological evidence behind what made people risk their lives to help others. A little more science please.
- Well, you've done it again! I always download this show thinking I'll get to hear some nice little scientific factoids, and I'm always forced to re-evaluate the way I look at the world and be a little bit more thoughtful of the beings that I share the planet with. Thanks a lot guys! Way to be the nerdy TAL! x(
