    This still poses interesting questions about culture. The guy might be a radical anti-Islamist, but he did grow up in a culture that promoted acts of savagery and made heroes out of terrorists. Even if his motives were contrary, these were still the actions that his culture bled into him…

      From what I can tell the murderer is a psychiatrist by profession and a nutter in his spare time. Go figure.

        Ever since I started college it was clear to me that many psych majors were in it to fix themselves. If they weren't whacked out when they went in they were by the time they graduated. Too much barefooting around in one's own head.

        A little introspection can be a good thing, but I think most people are better off just to follow their own instincts.

          We used to get quite a few MDs coming into the music store who were audiophiles. All were quirky in their own peculiar way as are most audiophiles. Of that group of a dozen or so doctors, four were psychiatrists. All four stood out in their own obsessive and socially eccentric behaviours from their colleagues in medicine. Quite odd actually.

            A few years ago, I went to an estate sale where the individual who passed was a CD collector. It was the first time where I encountered a collection that was comparable - or possibly larger than mine. He also had a large library of books. The house was dark - windows covered - most walls dedicated to shelves for the books and CDs. The deceased owner had been a psychiatrist. Being a whack job myself, I considered buying his total collection which I could have had for a very modest sum - but being married - and having a slight sense of self preservation, I restrained myself.

                I've seen his CD collection. His basement wasn't big enough to house another of similar size.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  One of the psychiatrists who purchased truckloads of classical CDs, hired someone to come to his home and catalogue his collection of music. It took six months.

                  As an aside, that same psychiatrist when I met him in 2014 was already on his fourth marriage. I think that by the time I fully retired six years later, that one had ended and he was contemplating that perhaps the marriage thing wasn’t for him after all. Wasn’t too sure though.
