Not sure what is really being said, but it does seem interesting. What I got out of it was that some things can be predicted.
For example, when there is another mass shooting, I try to find answers as to why the person did what they did. What were some of the triggers, etc. that caused the person to do what they did.
Can some of these disasters be predicted? I would say "Yes" if people get more familiar with the perpetrator. Some claim the person is evil but the more I look at the background of the person, the person appears to be a result of their environment, childhood, lack of taking their meds or being prescribed the wrong meds.
