Odd People

[H2O Man]

16. It is a curious topic.

In the past week, I have literally had eight people -- family and friends -- contact me to ask questions relating to this. That suggests to me that the frequency of interactions with this type of person (or persons) is increasing. Some might deem that coincidence, but I don't subscribe to coincidence. Now, I'm a retired psychiatric social worker, who had a focus on forensics. And I also have a love for the study of sociology. So I knew right away what link I was going to send those people. And it has led to some fascinating conversations since they have invested the hour required to watch this film.

My west coast brother, now retired from the university where he worked, is primarily interested in environmental issues. (I assume that west coast people will increasingly become focused on environmental issues.) But he contacts me with his thoughts and questions about human behaviors -- for example, school shootings and the murder of the four college students in Idaho -- his youngest daughter went to that school, and it really bothered him. Last night, he asked if I thought society could resolve the issues documented in this film? I said that it will take several generations, the same as mass shootings.

I'm glad that you are interested in this rabbit hole!
