Dude stated for years that a large factor for violence in this country was desensitization of the perpetrators and was directly related to video games and movies.......................what was worse, is that he honestly believed it.
I asked him when this argument was presented at a lecture I got stuck attending how that was possible since Cain didn't have access to movies or video games when he crushed Able. He was quick to point out that was a biblical myth, with no evidence to back up that it ever happened. So I quickly fast forwarded to Rwanda in 1994. Having been there, in person, on the ground, I saw for a fact there were no video games or movies influencing that human rights debacle. He had an answer of course, but his positions and opinions directly contradict the reality of what actually happens in violent confrontations.
At the end of the day, he cannot speak intelligently about such violence, and the human response because he has never experienced actual violence. The kind of violence that questions one's beliefs, and/or profoundly changes how they view their fellow man, and his capability for violence.
He has helped some people. And if people have benefited from his work, then it is not all bad.
That said, he may as well be teaching people how to perform open heart, and neuro surgery. I wouldn't want a surgeon, who was trained by him to slice open a family member for a life saving procedure. Information without experience is just information. Knowledge comes from applying the information in the context it is relevant. Wisdom forms after enough experience to identify and apply the information and knowledge to know what has actually worked, and what has not...........and most importantly, why/why not it did, or did not work.
He possesses only the information. Not enough to be an expert in my non-expert opinion.
