0:00.0	Hey, deserving listeners. As you all know, over the years, y'all have asked me to talk about various
0:06.4	different issues regarding murder and mass shootings and serial killers and psychopathy. We've
0:15.6	discussed it from a number of different angles. We've discussed different events. We've discussed
0:20.4	different diagnoses. We've discussed different ways of treating these individuals, potentially.
0:25.1	One of the things that will come up occasionally is the trend of mass shootings that's been happening
0:31.4	over the past decade. And it seems to be on the rise and how do we prevent that from happening?
0:38.8	What are we doing to encourage it to continue? So I thought I would have Mark Fulman on the

1:37.8	year was a real watershed event with this problem. And I began building a database of mass shootings
1:44.0	because when I looked into it, I was startled to find that there weren't really good sets of
1:49.6	data on this problem publicly available. So I started collecting it and doing some further reporting.
1:56.5	And I began in the course of that work to learn about the field of threat assessment,
2:02.0	behavioral threat detection, and the efforts that have been going on for quite a long time,
2:06.8	actually, mostly behind the scenes to prevent planned violence. And that's the nature of this
2:14.3	problem. These are planned attacks. We can get into talking more about the kind of mythology around
