b'Child Mental Health Part 2, What makes a serial killer and a CEO, why gun law and extra focus on mental health is response to mass shootings is missing the main point of what is actually causing not only this but our worsening mental and physical health throughout the Western World: Social disintegration. \\xa0 Self harm is increasing especially among females. There are many causes but manipulation of the environment and gaining an illusion of control is one of the main ones and is just another pathological coping mechanism similar to anorexia. If the behavior is positively reinforced it can then become a dangerous habit and almost an addiction and indeed addictions \\xa0in themselves are often another maladaptive trait. Psychopaths are a well known personality trait but they can be adapted negatively or positively through childhood experience and socialization. Serial killers are much more likely to have a particular psychopathic gene combined with severe childhood trauma and CEOs are more likely to be well socialized psychopaths. The current focus on mentally ill people being a risk to others including \\xa0atrocities such as mass shootings are an artifact of media reporting.\\xa0 Mentally ill people are almost guaranteed not to be a risk to the public and in the rare cases they are they are more likely to be a risk to those they know well. In fact focus on gun law in the US and mental health services is missing the deep rot in society of social disintegration. Ironically these measures are just another illusion of control and misinformed knee jerk reaction. Norway has been trying to address this with respect to illicit drugs by decriminalsing \\xa0illicit drugs, putting addicts into therapy and paying employers their first years wages thus re integrating them back into society and \\xa0this alone has proved very successful in reducing drug addiction and associated crime. What is causing our social disintegration? We will discuss this in our next podcast along with the origins of mankind and the most effective ways of organizing human society.'
