"We have learned more about the psychology and physiology of
combat in the last 50 years than in the previous 5,000 years put
together." - LT. COL. Dave Grossman
I've known Dave Grossman for decades. From long
before 9-11. A mutual passion for studying violence,
specifically, the link between physiology and psychology,
cemented our friendship.
Dave was the first person to really study it in a
scholarly fashion and has authored several books on the
subject.
We discuss so many things on this call from violence to sleeping
habits, his knowledge-base is astounding. Listening to Dave is
always thought-provoking. Enjoy this talk.

KILLOLOGY, (n): The scholarly study of the destructive act, just as sexology is the scholarly study of the procreative act. In particular, killology focuses on the reactions of healthy people in killing circumstances (such as police and military in combat) and the factors that enable and restrain killing in these situations.
