I wanted to share this video because it is the first real deep dive conversation I have seen anyone in the media have about the mental health issues related to mass shooters. Usually we only get lip service mentions of "mental health issues" that leave us with no real understanding of the problem. I highly recomend this for a better understanding of the problem of mass shooters. We need to find the source of this infection instead of band-aid solutions.

The discussion is almost 2 hours long but there is so much covered, so much fascinating information came up. In one instance a young boy had plans to carry out a mass shooting but read Dr Ferrell's book and got help instead. A lot is covered about the situation young men and boys are facing in our current social climate and how problems are being manifested. Problems such as not having father roles, being stigmatized, etc.

The conversation is between Dr Jordan Peterson, a very smart clinical psychologist and Dr Warren Ferrel, a political scientist whose written many books on men's and women's issues. As always, sincere and polite discussion is encouraged.
