I know this will go down like a lead balloon on HN but I've never seen anything as cringeworthy and pseudo-intellectual as this entire rationalist subculture, where weird obsessions with Bayesianism or other highly technical lingo is applied to all sorts of topics in ways that just make anyone else roll their eyes.

I think this also ties into this latest drama because apparently Scott seems himself like some medieval scholar being persecuted by the authorities if his name ever comes up, which is dramatic given that his pseudonym is his actual first and middle name which together with "psychiatrist ann arbor" gives you his actual name on a google search and a picture. Any of his patients who has ever googled his name knows who he is.
