196: Stolen Valor, School Shootings, and Inverse Proportionality
Although not a hard and fast rule, a heuristic can be applied to both stolen valor claims, and individual violence. Stolen Valor, when a person claims to have held a position in the military that they never achieved, comes in a few different forms. However, in Gun Culture large cases often explode into a witch hunt for similar offenders. The amount of self-aggrandizement is inversely proportional to the likelihood of the story.
Similarly, the more skilled a person is at the use of force, the less likely they are to use it, especially in rampages like school shootings.
The heuristic of an inverse proportionality can be applied to both, and more importantly uncovers the danger of perceiving one's self as weak as if it were an equivalent to being good.
