Bestselling author and TED Talks speaker Simon Sinek has a theory about the alarming rise in school shootings: it’s not about guns, it’s about kids being lonely – and the addiction to technology.

The school shooting data is as dumb as being able to hear a gun shoot down the street on a school grounds
So shootings were already on the rise not only before the invention of Social Media, but even before the internet. But ya, just blame the new scary technology.
The flaws in our society's cultural values contribute more to loneliness than technology does. Things like pornography, emotional pornography, and a culture of heartless ambition built up over time have created little pockets of living hell right in the heart of middle-class suburban America. These kids don't have a chance in their little corner of the world, against their social alienation and dysfunctional childhoods. Their depression will lead to suicide. Some die quietly with a little prayer, and others decide to go out with a violent bang. Simon is right that it's about loneliness, but he's WAY off about technology. Kids ignore everyone around them and text on their phones, because they are surrounded by a culture of heartlessness. In turn, they create more of that culture. These kids have no control. It's up to those who are in better situations (mostly older people) to make a contribution that improves our cultural values and stop drawing attention away from the real problem.
Teenagers want to know more than what man wrote to be history. Science of Earth's historical facts like the Atlantis Emerald tablets!
Suicide is definitely a big problem with kids in schools
The whole world has smart phones but only America has school shootings
its not about loneliness – its about government psyops and a deranged deceived sheeple public
"Not About Guns"
LMAO! Yea that's why only America suffers from it xD
My phone wastes time
Nietzche warned you
It's also about having a low self esteem and attributing that to others and then defending and growing it by lashing out those others.
that faggot trys to be like him so much
The United States has most weapons per capita than any other country, as well as most killed with weapons.
Japan has fewest weapons and least killed.
This is facts!
Actually – that's a good point!! People have always been able to get guns so why NOW are these people shooting up innocent folk!! Good point!!
Zoombies not machines, machines they work !
Schools teach us fucking useless shit and not how to build useful relationships. What the fuck school
Simon can preach!
Ehh, he's kinda right about some things but at the same time, gun violence is not so simple as "it's all about loneliness." Certainly it's a contributing factor and also an important societal problem in general but there are other factors involved with gun violence and mass shootings.
And that's not even considering the fact that if we were in that ideal society where everyone has a strong sense of community and trust for one another, we wouldn't even need guns anymore so the debate becomes moot, although a ban at that point would probably still be a good idea.
It's about SSRIs.
The anti-gun lobby is too busy being "right" to accept anything but a total gun ban.
