OT – Norway

[quote=walterwhite]I now recall buying a book called the cryptojews of new Mexico. It describes catholic Hispanics who do Jewish rituals for reasons they don’t understand, just because the familys done them for generations. The theory is they went so far undercover in Spain that the family eventually forgot it was Jewish but some physical ritual lived on.[/quote]

NYTimes had an article recently:

inflammatory bowel disease is generally genetically linked in Jews. But occasionally a Hispanic would be diagnosed.

much like Dupuytren’s contracture, very much a Scandinavian disease. but occasionally you’ll have a “Russian” or a “Pole” diagnosed with it.

[quote=GH]With all the pressures of life and the sheer complexity of our brains, I am almost surprised more people don’t go postal.

I tend to see individuals like this as people with a screw loose, or in scientific terms “nutcases”. This would include Timothy McVay and the Unibomber guy, probably throw in Manson for good measure and the nightstalker while I am thinking about it.

I am 100% convinced that this individual is a raving loony with a broken brain. It has happened before and will happen again. Probably more as things get more stressful in our world.[/quote]

Yes and no. As callous as it sounds, the human race is large enough to absorb isolated fractures. Containing the spread is important, and ensuring it doesn’t become mainstream is vital. A 1,500 page manifesto (I have only heard snippets), sounds like the work of a calculating mind. It may be that Hitler and Stalin were mad as well, but the important thing here is the damage creeds, causes, religion etc can do when they go viral. Who is more insane; the soldier or the general? They may argue, insanity is ultimately just a shift from what we consider normal.

I like it how Norway is still holding steadfast to their values of openness. Better than become a scared society in lockdown.

Government officials are still walking the streets like before.

“It’s absolutely possible to have an open, democratic, inclusive society, and at the same time have security measures and not be naive,” Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in Oslo. “I think what we have seen is that there is going to be one Norway before and one Norway after July 22,” he said. “But I hope and also believe that the Norway we will see after will be more open, a more tolerant society than what we had before.”
