For psychosis, I believe it tends to occur even earlier, late teens, early 20s is typical for men.

I've said here before; I feel AI is maybe the most important development since the wheel.

its not shocking at all. we spend far more per capita on healthcare than similarly developed nations and all of our lives are expendable in the interest of ensuring that obscene wealth remains concentrated in the hands of a small group of oligarch overlords.
people are rightfully fed the fuck up.
Absent juror nullification, ain't no way this guy is getting acquitted.
And I suspect the prosecution will put some gnarly autopsy photos in front of the jury to make darn sure that doesn't happen.

26 pages might be a record for how long a thread can exist without anyone speculating which 'team' a suspect is on.

Architecture and God don't strike me as "Right". Unless I missed it, nothing really political in anything posted.
Sounds like a guy who was just incredibly frustrated by long-term and apparently severe back pain.

This guy seems like he might be in the online Unabomber cult. There are quite a few of them out there, attracted to the Unabomber’s manifesto. This CEO may be a latter day victim of the Unabomber (his ghost/continuing influence). Releasing the manifesto helped catch him but it has fueled some anarchist-ish lone wolves (sometimes Neo-Luddites (leftist-anarchist), others Eco-Fascists (right wing)) since then:
“… the publication of that manifesto had other consequences. It has inspired copycat attacks and is claimed as an influence by others who have gone on to commit atrocities around the world.
It begins with the words: “The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.” And then goes on to detail Kaczynski’s belief in the need for violent rebellion against modern technology and those who help develop it.
Last week (2023), the billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted “he might not be wrong”. …”

“… “Eco-fascism” is receiving renewed attentionfollowing the recent far-right terrorist attack at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. In his manifesto, the perpetrator hailed as an inspiration the 2019 Christchurch attacker, himself a self-declared “eco-fascist,’’ and plagiarised his manifesto’s section on environmentalism which described immigration as “environmental warfare” and ‘’destructive to nature.’’ Notably, the Buffalo attacker also quoted Ted Kaczynski, otherwise known as the Unabomber, excerpting Kaczynski’s critiques of leftists from his 1995 anti-technology manifesto Industrial Society and its Future (he was not the first far-right terrorist to do so, Anders Breivik also plagiarised Kaczynski’s manifesto in 2011).
Kaczynski is a figure contemporary eco-fascists have coalesced around. Indeed he has been increasingly co-opted by the broader far-right in recent years. …”

But there has been a noticeable uptick in violent ideation on the left in more mainstream social media recently, at least it seems so to me (so anecdotally). This particular killer may be a left-wing Unabomber cultist, I guess we will find out at some point. But more and more the far right and far left extremists seem to share a lot of rhetoric and ideation, even if their stated goals (or reasons for them, like depopulation to save the planet on the left among eco-terrorists or de-population on the right among eco-fascists to protect the God-given resources to preserve and sustain white culture), they seem to be living in the space where the ideology clock curves back to meet at extremist midnight.

Not knowing the shooter's real identity until yesterday probably had something to do with it.
Speculation when there is no information available is just speculation, but that is no longer the case. The tweet is in response to a NY Post article painting him as a radical leftist, indicating from actual screen-caps of the suspect's social media posts that it may not be as clear-cut as the Post article would suggest.
What is it exactly that you find distasteful?

Correct, it's not likely. But it's foolhardy to think his appearance and motives won't change the calculus with lots of potential jurors, if even a little. Whether we're talking OJ, Jeffrey MacDonald, Casey Anthony, or the Menendez brothers (1st trial hung jury, despite a confession), appearance and affiliations can make a huge difference, even if we're talking 0.5% to 1% acquittal or hung jury.

Haven’t seen anything to indicate an interest in syndicalism from him, anarcho or otherwise.
It will be fascinating to see what, if any, online source radicalized him. Upon first glance, he was wealthy, attractive, fit, highly intelligent, an Ivy League grad, from a prominent family, and lived in Hawaii. He’s doesn’t appear to be an easy target to radicalize.

He does? I must have tapped out of that thread early, b/c when I think of red-pilled it isn't masters degree from an Ivy, wealthy and well connected family, quoter of Kurt Vonnegut, athletic, and attractive.
ETA: my post was left hanging for a few minutes before submitting - didn't see Willy's near identical post.
