That is not to say the current bloger is less than insightfull, but more to point at how we the people seem to keep ignoring things. Velikovshy was a psychiatrist, a friend of men like Freud. He is more remembered for his alien theory musings than for his actual contribution: "social amnesia" I am unsure if amnesia or attention deficit is the leading problem between the two, but we certainly are ill. which brings me to Paul Levy, another who has connections to that medicsl tradition, in his case to the deeper and more ethical Young, but more to the now forgotten and once persecuted (for saying truth to America) Willhelm Reich who wrote of sadofascism such as touched on herein. So I arive at my point. The works of Paul Levy as for eample http://www.awakeninthedream.com/terminal-insanity/ p.s. thanks for mentioning stochastic crime. was quite struck when I saw the concept had been put into use and aptly named, though I object to its narrow, legalistic application. and lastly, these examples were not spree killers, they were mass killers. but then, that might be a matter of attention span and energy levels, or how fast their disthymic imballances cycle. 100 dead in a day = mass killer. 1 a day for 100 days = spree killer. waltinseattle@gmail,comnoreply@blogger.com
