I think bizarrely we’re kind of on the same wavelength here, although as always your point is difficult to actually decipher. I think there’s probably a lot of things common that the Plymouth shooter had that the Manchester bomber had, religion aside. Edited by DanH (19 Aug 2021 4.03pm)

Still, it's also true that members have been highly educated and quite successful. It's not an incel army....Religion finds all types. Every group has an intelligentsia......A high or higher IQ doesn't mean cultural or political agreement. Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Aug 2021 4.10pm)

Genuine question as well as I know you put a lot to IQ; do you think IQ automatically means someone who should be in charge of making decisions? Or is EQ equally important?

Edited by DanH (19 Aug 2021 4.12pm) It's a very good question. I think the manner of the job matters....obvioiusly you don't want highly intelligent sociopaths. I'd say that If the decisions involve building a bridge or something technical like that, then as long as the law is followed then yes IQ matters more than EI. If the job involves people, then having social skills will matter more. Not that from my perspective that those skills means someone's a particular type. It's job dependent......At the very top end you'd hope that meritocracy meant that they had both. Still, when it comes down to it high IQ matters more.....too much empathy is cufflinks to shirt fronts, in other words decisions made purely on emotion are rarely good ones.....though a very high IQ is nearly always a life benefit in comparison to its alternative.

Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Aug 2021 4.25pm) I agree with you on about 90% of that I’d say. I think the only bit I differ to on that is what you call emotion I call empathy, which is a huge part of leadership. Also, unless something is fully automated or AI smart enough to do it then it involves humans to some extent so it will always be crucial. Until the robots are smarter than us anyway.

This bloke as an 'Incel' terrorist spiel is utter bulls***. He shot two men dead. And a little kid. These Incel freaks are meant to have problems with women right? He was a f*** up who lost the plot. The REAL issue is how the hell he was allowed to get that shotgun back. That is where all the focus should be.

They just have mother issues. Does that mean they should just be ignored? Then no. But I suspect the pathology is far more akin to Serial Killers than terrorists. These gimps have always existed. Only difference now is that can rant on message boards with each other. A manifestation of the modern world us lot are probably guilty than most in embracing whole heartedly, hence this conversation. You want him classified as a terrorist because he is white Dan. And that can then assuage the unease you feel about the predominance of non-white terrorists over the last few decades. Anders Brevik was a terrorist. He attacked people based on a political ideology. This moron was just a fruit-loop. But a fruit-loop with a gun. That's the issue.

This effort we see to lump in all of sundry (those on the left who seek to blame 'INCELS' and the far right, and those on the right who seek to link it to 'feminists' and 'alphabet soup' types) fail to see that even the most ardent basement dwellers very rarely behave as this guy did. There's a bit of a difference between being a dropout, and loading a gun and killing a kid. Hopefully those desperate to endlessly politicise to their own advantage will instead for once just take these utterly tragic events at face value.
