bodyAs the media grope to find a motive for the Las Vegas mass shooting, the *New York Times* published one of the [more interesting reviews of his life](https://nyti.ms/2yOMchH), which is notable for his single-minded focus on flying solo — figuratively and literally. Here's the bottom line to me: Aside from making a lot of money, the man's life was unremarkable. He was very smart and very disciplined. But then a lot of people are. Thousands are. As the *Times* noted, he was "a nondescript 'numbers guy'." ![HSpaddock.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPscs78jqauW2V31cWMfu9WntNHYA5QqsJpGva1mUmPVJ/HSpaddock.jpg) **Paddock's high-school photo. [Photo source](https://nyti.ms/2yOMchH)** I don't think law enforcement is going to find out much more about what drove him. He wasn't one to write things down. He wasn't one to talk to people, either. He was isolated. And by definition, if you're isolated, people are not going to know much about you. So we'll likely have to settle for the historically futile conversations media and lawmakers will be having on gun control, with little reason to believe those conversations will be any less futile. Here are some links to material I've reviewed in the past day or two (in addition to the article cited above) that I think are worth noting: **News articles** * "[A Sick Country Filled With Guns](https://theintercept.com/2017/10/07/a-sick-country-filled-with-guns/)," by Jeremy Scahill, *The Intercept* * "[Repeal the Second Amendment](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/opinion/guns-second-amendment-nra.html)," by Bret Stephens, *New York Times* * "[How 2nd Amendment Distortions Kill](https://consortiumnews.com/2017/10/03/how-2nd-amendment-distortions-kill/)," by Robert Parry, *Consortium News* * "[Australia Offers to Help the U.S. With Gun Law Reform](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/australia-gun-control-las-vegas_us_59d46dd0e4b06226e3f48587?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004)," by Dominique Mosbergen, *Huffington Post* **Video** * Law enforcement officer on the note found in Stephen Paddock's hotel room, *60 Minutes*, CBS: https://youtu.be/zbeiy50lGYo <br> **Academic articles** * "[Guns in the Home and Risk of a Violent Death in the Home: Findings from a National Study](https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/160/10/929/140858/Guns-in-the-Home-and-Risk-of-a-Violent-Death-in)," *American Journal of Epidemiology* * "[Editorial: Gun Violence—Risk, Consequences, and Prevention](https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/183/6/516/2196089/Editorial-Gun-Violence-Risk-Consequences-and)," *American Journal of Epidemiology* This excerpt from [Scahill's article](https://theintercept.com/2017/10/07/a-sick-country-filled-with-guns/) in *The Intercept* sums up my own feeling about where the gun-control discussion is likely to go: > Watch what happens in Congress in the coming days. Empty platitudes. Bullshit proposals: “We must do something about this.” And, of course, a lot of prayer. But none of that is going to change to the fact that we live in a sick society that believes guns bring us security. A nation that has been taught by powerful, twisted people that guns aren’t part of the problem. That everything *except* guns — and how easy they are to get — is the problem. Fareed Zakaria's program *GPS* on CNN today (Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017) devoted the entire hour to a discussion of gun control, and is worth streaming (no link online as of this writing). In a panel discussion on that program, David Frum outlined what is probably the best solution to the problem that will come from a conservative point of view: that what's needed is a change in public perception. Frum used the following analogy: the public needs to come to consider gun ownership in the same way that a mother would never shut the door and windows in the baby's room and smoke cigarettes — it's something that you *can* do, that you're *able* to do, that may not technically be illegal, but that you just don't do. That's a weak argument, in my opinion; feel free to express your own opinion in the comment section below. Some people feel that, like a utopia on earth that might be technologically achievable, [we don't have it because we don't want it](https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-only-thing-stopping-us-from-creating-utopia-is-the-fact-that-we-dont-truly-want-it-yet-35fddbfd83d7). Just like, as a nation, we were unable to answer Rodney King's question, "Can we all just get along?" in the affirmative: https://youtu.be/1sONfxPCTU0 <br> We don't all want it, and we can't all just get along, because there are thousands more Stephen Paddocks out there, and like any of us with the smarts and the will in this country, they can find the weapons. ***

bodyI had this idea in the 1990s when it crossed my mind to send an email to my brother, who had died in the 1980s. The idea grew to the point where I contacted an expert in AI at the time to ask him: "Is it possible to build an AI based on a profile of a dead person--an avatar of that person--who would interact with friends and family in a way that mimicked the actual person?" Long question, I know. The answer at the time was "No." A pretty short answer. But I think we might have reached that point. Though it would be weird for me to receive an email from my dead brother, reminding me about the $400 I owe him.

body![Piglet.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbLsA2aPaBTv5Kk7U88zm61baQ1XGsd988kwkqXxaYnnu/Piglet.jpg) My wife went pescetarian a few years ago. Actually, she hovers now on the brink of pure vegetarianism, but is unwilling to abandon the occasional shrimp or salmon dish. Since I do much of the cooking, I adopted her diet more or less. But, especially when we go out to eat, I indulge in a steak or burger medium rare. My repeated rationale for this is evolutionary biology. Hey, we've been evolving for millions of years (as I'm unpersuaded by the [creationist argument](https://kcroes.wordpress.com/2015/06/09/falling-off-the-edge-of-the-world-and-were-all-in-the-same-boat/)), and our ancestors likely ate pretty much anything they could get their opposable thumbs around. The popularity of the [paleo diet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet) supports this hypothesis, obviously. Unfortunately, I don't think my wife was ever overly convinced by this argument. Her conviction has little to do with evolution vs. creationism. Since this whole pescetarian/vegetarian thing entered our lives, she's mentioned something called "factory farming" a few times. I gathered it had something to do with inhumane conditions involving the butchering of cattle and pigs, and who knows what other four-legged entree's-on-the-hoof. I was under the impression that [Temple Grandin](http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2015/08/19/temple-grandin-killing-them-softly-at-slaughterhouses-for-30-years/) had taken care of that situation. Apparently I was wrong. Then, yesterday I think, I clicked on a link in my email newsletter from *The Intercept* and ended up at this [sunny little piece of journalism](https://theintercept.com/2017/10/05/factory-farms-fbi-missing-piglets-animal-rights-glenn-greenwald/). It was about how the FBI is looking into the theft of two piglets from Smithfield Farms. Remember that name: Smithfield Farms. Here's an excerpt from the article: > This single Smithfield Foods farm breeds and then slaughters more than 1 million pigs each year. One of the odd aspects of animal mistreatment in the U.S. is that species regarded as more intelligent and emotionally complex — dogs, dolphins, cats, primates — generally receive more public concern and more legal protection. Yet pigs – among the planet’s most intelligent, social, and emotionally complicated species, capable of great joy, play, love, connection, suffering and pain, at least on a par with dogs — receive almost no protections, and are subject to savage systematic abuse by U.S. factory farms. The article includes images and videos that are horrifying and heartwarming in turn: horrifying in the treatment of pigs at this facility; heartwarming in how the activists who captured the video and allegedly perpetrated the piglet heist brought the little brutalized beasties back from the brink. So, I'm off bacon now. And, frankly, the steaks and burgers are a little less tempting, also. One unexpected consequence of the article was a small addition to my growing disgust with government in that I'd think the FBI would have better things to do with our tax money than to implement this piggiehunt. I guess that makes me a pescetarian. Now I have to worry about some nosy investigative journalist poking around into factory farming of fish. I have to stop clicking on these newsletter links, I guess. And then there was this recent discovery that [octopuses live in complex communities](http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2017/09/19/octlantis-australia-octopus-city/#.WdkTz7pFx2Y). I've long had the suspicion that the average octopus may be brighter than many people, and probably would be quite hard to find by the FBI or any other law enforcement agency. There are interesting data out there on the octopus. As smart as they are, however, I doubt they know anything about how terrible the conditions are at Smithfield Farms.

      "body": "![Piglet.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbLsA2aPaBTv5Kk7U88zm61baQ1XGsd988kwkqXxaYnnu/Piglet.jpg)\n\nMy wife went pescetarian a few years ago. Actually, she hovers now on the brink of pure vegetarianism, but is unwilling to abandon the occasional shrimp or salmon dish. Since I do much of the cooking, I adopted her diet more or less. But, especially when we go out to eat, I indulge in a steak or burger medium rare. My repeated rationale for this is evolutionary biology. Hey, we've been evolving for millions of years (as I'm unpersuaded by the [creationist argument](https://kcroes.wordpress.com/2015/06/09/falling-off-the-edge-of-the-world-and-were-all-in-the-same-boat/)), and our ancestors likely ate pretty much anything they could get their opposable thumbs around.\n\nThe popularity of the [paleo diet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet) supports this hypothesis, obviously. Unfortunately, I don't think my wife was ever overly convinced by this argument.\n\nHer conviction has little to do with evolution vs. creationism. Since this whole pescetarian/vegetarian thing entered our lives, she's mentioned something called \"factory farming\" a few times. I gathered it had something to do with inhumane conditions involving the butchering of cattle and pigs, and who knows what other four-legged entree's-on-the-hoof.\n\nI was under the impression that [Temple Grandin](http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2015/08/19/temple-grandin-killing-them-softly-at-slaughterhouses-for-30-years/) had taken care of that situation. Apparently I was wrong.\n\nThen, yesterday I think, I clicked on a link in my email newsletter from *The Intercept* and ended up at this [sunny little piece of journalism](https://theintercept.com/2017/10/05/factory-farms-fbi-missing-piglets-animal-rights-glenn-greenwald/).\n\nIt was about how the FBI is looking into the theft of two piglets from Smithfield Farms. Remember that name: Smithfield Farms. Here's an excerpt from the article:\n\n> This single Smithfield Foods farm breeds and then slaughters more than 1 million pigs each year. One of the odd aspects of animal mistreatment in the U.S. is that species regarded as more intelligent and emotionally complex — dogs, dolphins, cats, primates — generally receive more public concern and more legal protection. Yet pigs – among the planet’s most intelligent, social, and emotionally complicated species, capable of great joy, play, love, connection, suffering and pain, at least on a par with dogs — receive almost no protections, and are subject to savage systematic abuse by U.S. factory farms.\n\nThe article includes images and videos that are horrifying and heartwarming in turn: horrifying in the treatment of pigs at this facility; heartwarming in how the activists who captured the video and allegedly perpetrated the piglet heist brought the little brutalized beasties back from the brink.\n\nSo, I'm off bacon now. And, frankly, the steaks and burgers are a little less tempting, also. One unexpected consequence of the article was a small addition to my growing disgust with government in that I'd think the FBI would have better things to do with our tax money than to implement this piggiehunt.\n\nI guess that makes me a pescetarian. Now I have to worry about some nosy investigative journalist poking around into factory farming of fish. I have to stop clicking on these newsletter links, I guess. And then there was this recent discovery that [octopuses live in complex communities](http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2017/09/19/octlantis-australia-octopus-city/#.WdkTz7pFx2Y). I've long had the suspicion that the average octopus may be brighter than many people, and probably would be quite hard to find by the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.\n\nThere are interesting data out there on the octopus. As smart as they are, however, I doubt they know anything about how terrible the conditions are at Smithfield Farms.",

body![The Isolator.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZdGcDGCi8Zeebg5n7qUjskZB317abak2uzRZJuogenUR/The%20Isolator.jpg) Writing takes quite a bit of focus — at least it does for me. I grew up in a large family, so I've been exposed to a fair amount of chaos. I've lived in college dorms, shared apartments with four or five other crazy people, worked in busy newsrooms and offices, and as an adult have been around kids ages zero through time-to-go-out-into-the-world-now-puhlease. As for music, I can be quite comfortable with hard and loud. So what happened to me this morning, I can't quite explain. These days I do most of my writing in a home office. Just a few feet outside the door to my office, my wife has a Casio keyboard/piano. And this morning, while I was trying to concentrate on a particularly complex science article, she decided to sit at the Casio, where she tapped out a few notes and began to practice her scales. You see, she recently started taking singing lessons. I was, of course, immediately distracted. Distracted enough to open my desk drawer, withdraw a digital recorder, and press the red record button. Here's what I heard: https://vimeo.com/236992623 After a few seconds, there was a pause, so I looked back at my computer monitor, sighed, and tried to get my mind back into the weird quantum physics point I was in the midst of making. During this brief interlude, our cat, Miltie, must have navigated under the desk at which I was seated, and he chose that moment to jump up in my lap. And my wife, Lizzie, chose that moment to resume her scales. And not knowing what else to do, I pressed the red button again on the digital recorder, and captured this: https://vimeo.com/236989613 And, of course, I had my next blog post for SteemIt, which is this one. The fact is, when she's warmed up sufficiently, Lizzie has a beautiful singing voice. And there is nothing quite so much as I love in this world as to hear her singing. As for Miltie, he's usually warmed up pretty much at a moment's notice. And I love him almost as much as Lizzie. But something about the interruption sent me in search of the photo that accompanies this post, apparently of an invention called "The Isolator." I could've used that thing — often — in the past, and have an inkling behind the inspiration that must have generated its creation. Full disclosure here: The fact is, the more complex the article, the more easily I'm distracted. So part of this is on me.
