Seems very likely to be bullshit, especially since the patients we see who fit into these buckets are um very un priestly.
Perhaps they would've lead happier lives as priests!
And why would Cluster-B not fall into this? Also you're saying hypermobility and chronic stomach pain are cluster B as well?

Assuming the UK and the rest of Europe don't deal with their Muslim problem and population replacement continues apace it will not be too much longer before there are a few muslim societies with nukes and modern militaries which are willing to declare war on Israel. I think that is the biggest risk factor for number 2.

The historical antecedent does not cause it to be wrong, but the explanation for why it is wrong may be analogous to the explanation for why its historical antecedent is wrong.

I mean, its an easy heuristic to read Wikipedia and realize that it represents the most far left case that can be plausibly levied under their rules.
Even so I was alone during 2nd intifada, it was a terrorist campaign supported by all the relevant Palestinian parties in government, so that necessarily includes him and Arafat. If you have a lexis media account you can probably make a better assessment using only transcripts from the trial and contemporaneous media accounts, although even then they were generally Palestinian -leaning, as we see with Arafat winning man of the year

Israel has four neighbors, two of which are borderline failed states and the other two are strong American allies. None of these countries are staging an invasion.

Isn't this a motte and bailey?
The motte is Marxists caring about culture, which obviously they have done throughout history. The Soviet Union is just one famous example.
The bailey is the much less defensible claim that "wokism is the bastard child of communism" - this kind of 'cultural Marxism' is a much larger, more complicated narrative about how intersectionality, modern progressive thought, etc., derive from a complex chain of descent from Marxism.
The bailey may be true - you'd have to defend it - but you don't get it free with the motte.
(And it's a genetic fallacy anyway, but that's a whole separate issue. Suffice to say that I think wokism is wrong, but it's wrong because it's wrong, not because of this or that historical antecedent.)

A brief googling indicates that he is clearly a terrorist
Damn that's funny, I did the same and it told me the exact opposite - a brief google, where you are given a curated selection of results designed to cater to your biases, is less than useless in the modern day when it comes to truth-finding. Why don't you do an actual investigation into the circumstances around his arrest and base your opinion on something substantial? Look, even if you do the research and still think he's a terrorist, discussions on these topics are better when you actually do the research and can make an informed contribution.

A brief googling indicates that he is clearly a terrorist and he is popular because of that plus the martyr status of being imprisoned.
If he was released and was a five in Gaza he's quickly be on a pike.

Firing tank shells into Churches
Very good. That is actually oppression. If done intentionally and regularly.
On July 17, 2025, part of an Israeli tank shell hit the only Catholic church in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military expressed regret for the incident and launched an investigation. On July 23, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the church was "accidentally hit due to an unintentional deviation of munitions" during operational activity.
Okay. So a one-off accident. The actual definition of collateral damage. If anyone is ever going to fire a tank gun or drop a bomb, then there will be some failure rate in targeting. An accident is not what I would call oppression.
Googling more I see other collateral damage examples. A church water tank is broken while the Israelis battle jihadists, etc. The expected occasional screw up when firing tanks and missile striking urban regions. Regrettable, but not oppression.
occupying Christian territory
Between the alternatives of Jewish Israeli control or Palestinian jihadist Islamic control, there's no "Christian territory" under discussion. I get that the small Christian minority is in a tough spot. They don't have territory. If the crusades had turned out differently we'd be meaningfully discussing "Christian territory" in the region. But we aren't.
backing jihadists in Syria
Wisely arming non-jihadist rebel factions in Syria in order to counter Iranian influence. Not that Christians would flourish if Iranian-backed jihadist rebel factions got the upper hand. Arming the mildest rebels as a counter against the Islamist extremists is not oppressing Christians.

I'm aware. I still don't think it's all that unfair to have fun with "blood boys" imagery when we're talking about the guy who sounds like a Metal Gear Solid villain.
Again, I say this as someone who kind of likes him! I'd actually like to have thought of half of the cyberpunk things he's invested in, or had my shit together enough to apply to be a Thiel fellow.

With all due respect, I wasn't asking for an opinion on whether he's correct. I was asking if there is a way to tactfully ask him to lay off.
Eventually someone is going to realize that grotesque jihadi violence is counterproductive and that they would get way more stuff if they kept the Jews around to milk welfare out of.
They were getting welfare out of the international community via things like UNRWA regardless. I'm sure money will continue to roll in.

Footnotes would be fine. What makes IJ obnoxious is that it has extensive endnotes such that you are constantly flipping to the back of the book. Or have they fixed this in newer editions now that Wallace isnt alive to stand in their way?
Anyway, if you guys enjoy IJ, I would consider Solenoid to be an absolute must-read.

I've never heard of this idea before but it grossly fails the sniff test - a lot of this stuff is pretty much known in medicine to almost always be untreated/diagnosed/refused diagnosis Cluster-B.
Some of the rest of it is known to have other different causes for instance (allergies).
Seems very likely to be bullshit, especially since the patients we see who fit into these buckets are um very un priestly.
Because the people Lobster Daddy hates have been in control of art, universities, etc for the back half of the 20th century and all of the 21st
And are we arguing that that has yielded no fruit? All of the things people blame on Tumblr started in the academy.
Or is that they clearly aren't trying because they otherwise would have succeeded given their hegemony in those spaces?
I don't see why "they did try. They were just wrong, like their Marxist forebears" isn't an answer in this framework. There may just be limits on what you can do sometimes using those tools.

Another interesting part is that it rewards reading it twice. I didn't have the time to commit to it but yeah.
I don't think you have to read it but I did hit a bump in it part way through, fought through it, and then was glad I did.
Loved the cruise ship essay too. One of many reasons I haven't done one
Cultural Marxism is a demonstrable thing, unless you believe that culture is some sort of fungus that shows up on economies. What do you think Homo Sovietcus was, anyway? Only orthodox Marxists care to elevate their dogma as some sort of materialist science of history, which it obviously isn't and has failed on its falsifiable claims over and over. Late-stage capitalism has come and gone like so many proclamations of the Rapture.
Wokism is the bastard child of communism, and the connection strengthens in spite of strenuous denials of paternity. People realized you could substitute historical materialism for any other sort of intersectional nonsense. They could add infinite categories to the class-based analysis to suit their own purposes. As an active heresy and schism of the left it remains after Communism itself discredited its own legitimacy over a hundred years. They even claim to be communists themselves!
This was birthed from intellectuals on the left. History didn't stop with Kapital. Pay the damn child support - with words, if not action.

I think the actual reason was that despite the fact Trump is ostensibly in charge and agitating for war with Venezuela, it is the exact opposite of what his base wants and voted for. "No more pointless foreign wars" was one of Trump's main selling points, so the Nobel going to someone who wants to start another pointless foreign war isn't actually seen as a good thing for Trump by his base, even if it is a "good thing" for the wealthy ghouls who run the MIC and are actually in charge of US policy.

Bluntly, I think your boss is right in this case. The correct answer to "why are multiple TCP streams faster than one" is "it depends, what concrete thing are you observing?" There are a bunch of reasons a developer could be reporting "multiple TCP streams are faster than one", and where you should look depends on which parts of the network you can observe and control, how lossy the links are, which congestion control algo is in use in this particular case, etc.
If you say to an LLM "here is the thing I am observing, here is the thing I expected to observe, what are the most important additional pieces of information I can use to narrow down the root cause and what are the specific commands I can use to gather that information", the LLM will be able to answer that question. If you say "I have output from this common cli tool and I am too lazy to read the man page, explain it to me", the LLM can do that too.
Senior developer time is expensive. LLM tokens are cheap. Don't ask senior developers to spend their time answering questions you have if you haven't tried an LLM first.
Idk, I could see you as sort of a nihilistic shaman. I think most prolific online posters have the potential.
