Yes there is an underlying reason. Do you or your husband consider yourself normal ? would you or he deliberately kill a bunch of unsuspecting innocent people ? Why not if you don't thing there has to be any reason to or not to ? If there was capital punishment for these wackos. quick to trial and an express lane to the gallows. It would greatly reduce the numbers of repeat offenders.

Does there always have to be a reason? Yes, because then reality is causal instead of an arbitrary game of Gods yanking us around like puppets in a game of good versus evil but with the labels switching arbitrarily so evil seems a good idea and good is a wolf in sheep's clothing. At least then I know it's me writing this instead of some sneaky evil avatar telling me what to write. Everything has always made sense to me when I get the right information. Except sometimes things are beyond my understanding. I liken those things to 2 tuatuas (a kind of shellfish) discussing life the universe and everything. They can feel the sand snd water. Waves washing over. Scnapper biting on their shells. But they can't discuss New York or even deduce that such a thing might exist even if they got smart like octopussy. Those things are smart. I met one once in an aquarium. But even they couldn't solve calabi yau equations in string theory and get the answer to life the universe and everything, which is 42. In the suicide support group I have attended for a couple of years, why hangs heavy. Bewilderment is the norm. Evil lurks large. Not understanding is part of the anguish. At least finding the answer to life the universe snd everything is an adventure into the unknown. Suicide is like a black hole event horizon into which people fall from which light can't shine. Yes we can clean up the mess each time, say nothing to see here and bustle off as though nothing had happened. But the waves of anguish wash over the afflicted and they lose their bustle. I guess Alek's father is feeling pretty stink right now, wondering why. Families of dead and maimed and the victims themselves will wonder why, You are perhaps right ... Incel males in the wild do a lot of attacking. Genocidal wars have been the norm in humans. The spare young men were given a sword and pointed over the horizon to go and get their's. "Dunno. He's an Incel male. He could." Maybe that's all there is to it. Looks like jihad works like that too but with a more widely popularized book of instruction. Women aren't big on jihadist head hacking or driving vehicles over people. The 72 virgins on offer are not the right incentive. I would try 42 blocks of chocolate as incentive for women. That's the answer to life the universe and everything. There are perhaps 2 simultaneous answers. 72 virgins and 42 blocks of chocolate. Would women kill for chocolate if they were Inchocs and everyone else was pigging out? Mqurice

--does there always have to be a reason?-- seems as if "reason" is moving into the domain of antiquated notion. here, noble prize winner kahnemann speaks a bit to reasoning: thecut.com "Kahneman and his longtime collaborator Amos Tversky employed clever study designs to reveal how misled by intuitions and mental shortcuts — which they termed heuristics — and how reliably irrational humans are." though, i suppose an irrational reason still qualifies as a reason. and that takes us back to doe, a deer...... -g-
