By now, you’ve heard the news. No need to recount the incidents here. And besides, since this is a venue where the deeper depths of Game are plumbed, that is what I hope to do against the backdrop of the empty lives of these two Men.
Back in the Summer, Roissy came under tremendous fire for suggesting that George Sodini probably would not have killed so many innocent Women had he had Game. Of course, I agreed with his analysis, because the pattern of Men Behaving Badly-& Deadly-is by now, just too big to ignore.
Both Hasan and Rodriguez, Sodini and Cho, and many others, were, in a word, Losers-guys with no connections to the larger world. No girlfriends, or homies, or social life to speak of. Nearly all fanatical Muslim terrorists share this profile: see Muhammad Atta.
Game by definition, forces Men to become social animals, because that’s the world in which Women inhabit. And Men those do well in that world, tend not to wind up doing what Hasan and others do.
But, before one can enjoy the company of Women on a whole host of levels, Men like Hasan etc, have to take a good long look inside themselves, and make some deepseated changes. As we can see, it’s very difficult, for many many Men, to do this.
Perhaps the biggest irony, wrt Hasan, is that he carried out his final act in a setting that was supposed to represent all that is Manly and Good. And in watching the coverage of Ft. Hood, with all due respect to the Army, my how far have we fallen.
SMH. Game just may be the Last Best Hope for the World.
