Ilya Somin, makes a good point about my theory that "stupid nerds" might be more likely to act out violently than "intelligent nerds":

I should emphasize that even if Smith's theory is correct, it in no way justifies the shooters' acts. Killing people is not a defensible response to social putdowns. Her theory also does not change the reality that the overwhelming majority of "stupid nerds" aren't dangerous [my emphasis]. Even if school shooters are more common in this subgroup than in others, they would still be only a miniscule fraction of the total "stupid nerd" population.


As Somin points out--school shooters are rare--most kids, nerds or not, never act out in this violent way. I was simply talking about out of the ones who do. Part of the problem with pinpointing the psychological traits of school shooters is that luckily, there are so very few.

The problem is, they look for a single point that caused it, when it never is. Look at the idea of school shooters.

1) they have to have access to guns.
2)they have had to be disenfranchised with school society
3)possibly some home life problems

But all of these do not make a killer.

Which came first the killing instinct, or the stupid nerdish instinct that led to the other.

Maybe these particular individuals are just wacko.

Since the number of school shooters is so low, how can any generalized conclusions be made at all?
