A guy went crazy and was able to shoot people. That means we need to look at how we detect and handle mentally ill people and how we restrict access to firearms.

It does not mean we should fret about if we make (normal) people in top schools study too hard.


I went to a top university and most people's mental health was definitely in the gutter so I think it is worth talking about it.
