There was this shooting in Canada, awful shooting, nine people dead plus the shooter, you know, a bunch of kids and then some people who were next door.

And if you read the Canadian media reports about this, they just have no idea what the motive could be.

If you listen to the authorities, the Mounties are saying not only that they don't know the motive, but hours after the shooting, they said, we will probably never know the motive of the shooter.

So right off, that sets off your bells and you say, all right, let me Google this for three seconds or actually look on X. You're not going to find it on Google.

You'll find it on X with citizen journalists.

And what do you know?

The reports that we have right now, again, maybe it's changing in real time, but from everything we know, it is the sort of person that you most expect.

Matt?

Ben mentioned fragmented psyches.

The only person on this panel who doesn't have a fragmented psyche is Allie, who is the only person who hasn't weighed in on this.

Allie, were you surprised by the reports of the shooting?

Well, this is a great point.

It does go back to the man that Drew calls Uncle Aristotle, because the way Aristotle saw the world was through four causes, the material cause, the formal cause, the efficient cause, and the final cause.

And we don't need to get into all of those things, but the final cause is what the thing is for, what its purpose is.

And I think if you were to present that to most people today, even on the right, they would be drooling and scratching their heads.

The idea that

that we can know from a thing that it's, like, for something.

Like, the Leftist Tears Tumblr is for the Leftist Tears, or the cigar is for smoking.

And they don't really seem to get that.

Now, it led to this confusion of the transgender movement, which I thought was kind of over, but then you're still seeing these spurts of it.
