"I encourage all who read this to look critically at our society. Are we producing better people...? Are we producing great art, or did artists find a way to make Britney Spears-level junk art look profound? Are we producing culture, or an endless series of disingenuous hipsters who lack ideas because they're afraid of reality? Are we taking on the moral challenge to grow better like the ancient Greeks and Romans, or are we becoming fat, lazy and incompetent like the remains of third-world dictatorships?Are we using our technology to become better, or are we simply growing more (7 billion) people with barely enough intelligence to watch TV and perform menial jobs, while we consume planet earth?"

"Another person added, "This tragedy needs to be viewed in the larger context of our insane society which produces this destruction rather than isolating it down to an individual and claim he was just a psychopath." ... without a connection to some shared ideal that is greater than the individual, human societies collapse into individualism -- a fancy word for "selfishness." Societies that decline tend to become more unstable and less reliable, while they drive to suicide anyone who can see the error of their path, and eventually devolve into third-world republics with average IQs of 89-94 points and no interesting future at all.
You can help make sure the victims of Jokela, and the shooter, are not forgotten, by acting on the message we've received from this event instead of ignoring it. To blame gun control, or a lone individual, for a problem that is so pervasive it happens worldwide, is madness. Our society has corrupted itself and is now of a bad design, and we need to fix that design before the collapse deepens. For more information, see www.corrupt.org."
