Making of a Mass Shooter: Video Games & Marijuana | Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kardaras | Part 1 | Ep 802
Today we're joined by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, psychologist and one of the country’s foremost addiction and mental health experts, to discuss mass shootings, incel culture, and video game violence. We start off with an update on the Texas shooting that took place last weekend and the strange details about the shooter's online history that have come out (which are still being investigated). We discuss how incel culture began as a well-intentioned lonely hearts support group and morphed into an online breeding ground for angry people. We go through some of the ideologies espoused by mass shooters and talk about how search algorithms create a sense of egocentric narcissism, causing people to believe they're the center of their digital world. We argue that while it's worth talking about guns, mass shootings are rooted more in societal and psychological issues that need to be addressed. Then, we ask why these shootings are almost always perpetrated by men and address whether violent video games have anything to do with this male aggression, as some have argued. We end with some encouragement: How to feed your kids digital vegetables rather than digital candy.
