My ultimate fear is being trapped in my own body, unable to move. That is a more frightening concept to me than death. My concept of Hades is a place where one is trapped in darkness, unable to move or perceive, alone with one's thoughts. It is not hell, because it is not painful, but it is terrifying to me.
Another absent father leaving for the world his lost son. Whatever the combination of causes: sedentariness, commercialism, nihilism, emotion, internet over-exposure syndrome, on and on; all grist for one mill - the anti-story.
How do these media sources connect to Guy Bartkus's self-construction? I'm asking in the rhetorical sense as you've shown here, everyone manipulated his psychological shadow until he became the "Death Dealer" anti-story. A mode of being for Guy which has a personal referent as his father killed him, cut him out of his life at 15 years old and that sadness turned to anger turned to rage and ends in an orgy of barbarism. All recorded of course, within the media ledger so that whoever is next to perform the "moral bookkeeping", may also see through the same glass darkly.

Keep up the good work! These are tough topics but they are very important.
Doing my SS deep dive

Unrelated to bartkus motivations I expect the mainstreaminng of genetics to increase childness and early suicide.
I’ve had this thought too
"Richard Bartkus said that he hadn’t seen his son in a decade."

Bizarre the motive isn't even speculated in MSM.
re: parents -- I think we underestimate the importance of them as a society. Cliche AF, but true.
I used to troll my high school chemistry professor by writing the following chemical equation on the blackboard (yes, I am dating myself):
2NaCN(s) + H2SO4(aq) -> 2HCN(g) + Na2SO4(aq)
I wouldn't have dared done that in the last 25 or so years.
