Explosive-anger disorder.

An awful lot of people have it, and, amazingly enough, the broader it's defined, the more people have it. So the question is, how many people do you want to have it?

A useful project you could undertake would be to rid the courts of psychological mumbo-jumbo.

Jacques: It's hard to believe that explosive-anger disorder would get far in court. It would seem to cover way too many acts of violence!

Never can tell, the psychs are incented to pathologize everything, lawyers are incented to hire psychs as expert witnesses when they can't find actual evidence, and judges are incented to defer to the psychs in lieu of actually having to judge.

It's a bad situation all around for justice, but due process wins out and so does the psychological-legal-industrial complex.

I'm glad we're back to ridiculing the trolls. I realize that it just encourages them. And they do seem to be swarming in again lately. (Does it seem cyclical to anyone else?) But, it can be so funny.
