Thanks for the links but I already told you I'm not interested in joining a cult with a senile fool at the top. I recommend you expand your intellectual horizon and avoid hucksters like Weinstein because "Distributed Idea Suppression Complex" is a nonsensical phrase and the fact that you're convinced it means something is what's actually worrying. It's surprising no one else has criticized him for what he's actually doing. Has he ever engaged with any actual critic about his ideas? Or is he always talking to people that just agree with him all the time?
I did not expect his followers to have such strong feelings. I'll keep this in mind next time I engage with Weinstein cult members. I might even need to create phrases of my own like "Algorithmically enhanced cult induction, memetic capture, and gating" and "Social media is an algorithmic substrate for mutagenic enhancement of viral ideological vectors" to be taken seriously by people like you because it seems like you folks enjoy unnecessary and convoluted abstractions that are basically meaningless.
Here's my abstract assessment of Weinstein. I don't have a wiki page to explain what any of it means but I assure you it's all very meaningful:
Eric Weinstein is using basic cult induction techniques and leveraging social media as an algorithmic mutagen to enhance viral ideological vectors of destabilizing and paranoid narratives that paint him in a favorable light in order to place himself in a position of leadership among the people that believe existing democratic institutions are no longer acting in their favor. It's either that or he's going senile. Either way, the man should not be taken seriously because he's only interested in his own crusade against the establishment that he feels spurned him and his unfathomable genius.
