Is it possible that such a well educated man simply acted on a revenge impulse? Was there such a burning desire to kill a bunch of people, only to realize later the full extent of his crimes? Perhaps he thought that it was worth it, even if he would be eating prison food for the rest of his life. Did such a well educated man finally realize that despite covering most of his face, there are other biometric algorithms to eventually ID and locate him. So, was it a suicide mission and he initially chickened out? Or, did he eventually realize that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life eating prison food and occasionally being held-down by LARGE, aggressive men?

He was smart enough to study at Brown_University, but eventually became disgruntled with things.
Perhaps he was motivated by revenge against some people and the education system in general.
At some point he might have decided to go on a suicide mission, because after shooting a bunch of people, he knew that he would likely be facing a life of incarceration.
He chose self destruction, rather than life in prison. Its very strange that an armed person with malicious intent could just walk onto a campus, attack and then easily walk away without at least being recorded by a few cameras.

The Simulation Hypothesis can be a neutral way of trying to perceive various aspects of the-universe. A creator, or an original being of pure energy and consciousness is a starting point of ponderance for many people. However, which version of the creator or creative force should one observe? That's up to each curious person to decide.
How many versions of reality can there be in the multiverse concept? Or, is it reality just one universe with many channels or levels? There is a tendency by several people to try to fit everything into just one religion or philosophy, but that might filter a lot of things out. Enter into the echo chamber, but science also has its limitations.
Understandably, the likes of Daniel_Dennett and Richard_Dawkins didn't want to fit everything into just one box of perception. Is there much of a difference between The_Selfish_Gene or a selfish creator? One has to think very big and very small, when trying to understand Evolutionary_biology within the vastness of Cosmology.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SimulationTheory/comments/1kptlds/the_universe_is_suspiciously_like_a_computer/ Did the universe become like a running sentient program, or is it the direct result of a cosmic programer? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stop-asking-if-the-universe-is-a-computer-simulation

There just isn't enough data to effectively map or run an accurate simulation of the universe, so the metaphysical approach to things is just as important as the scientific approach. It's all about your level of perception and being able to openly access the data that's available.

It might be too unsettling to reveal that the Earth could be like someone's farm, laboratory or zoo.
If intelligent life from other worlds have been around for the equivalent hundreds of thousands of years, this world might be just another terrarium of theirs.
Whether the Earth is like a school or a menagerie, several people throughout history have had to endure horrible lives or horrible endings to a comfortable life.
Several people over the years claimed to have been taken and studied like lab animals.

Apparently, all face recognition sofware malfunctioned in the general area. The shooter isn't supposed to have anything like image scrambling technology like in the movie, A_Scanner_Darkly. Yet, his limited image has not been captured and scanned from any security computer on the Internet. WTH?

It's very strange that there weren't more police at that location before the shooting even started.
Unfortunately today, any large crowd or gathering needs adequate police protection.
