On 5ch’s Newsoku VIP board, a regular thread-starter developing a homegrown theory of borderline personality disorder — that “non-STEM people are defective products” — invoked existentialism and cell cleavage to lay out the argument. Readers repeatedly complained that the heavy jargon made it hard to follow and called for a plain explanation, while the OP pushed back each time. The two sides never really connected, and the discussion went in circles.
Just so you know, you're welcome to push back hard here too.
The whole point is Q&A, and there's a chance I'm wrong, after all.

I put together a summary in one post the other day, so let me paste that here first.

It's fine if it's in writing.
・From Jaspers' existentialism: "values = the inverse calculation of setbacks"
・From cell cleavage: "the individual = a mechanism that exists for infrastructure"
・The defining trait of borderline personality is "infantile omnipotence"
Because of this "omnipotence," you can't experience "setbacks," so you can't form "values," so you never settle on "what infrastructure you're meant to support," so the need to be an "individual" never arises.
Mentally you never become an "individual," yet physically you exist as one anyway.
That's the "error," and "borderline personality" is the attempt to compensate for it.
That's "the true nature of borderline personality."
Conversely, if you translate "setback" — i.e., "the capacity to make contact with existence" — into a human category, that's "STEM."
Hence the thread title.

⑫ By the way, at the cellular level, cells that fail to differentiate properly get broken down and become nutrients for other cells.
I'll leave it up to each of you to interpret what that corresponds to at the level of the individual.

Not gonna read a wall of text, but why exactly are non-STEM people "defective"?
The two groups differ in kind, not quantity, and they perform different roles in society.
Society needs all sorts of different abilities.

Your terminology is way too optimized for your own head.
Even if it's a bit imprecise, please use more widely understood terms.

Honestly, that's already a bad sign.
"Existentialism should bend to my reading comprehension" — that attitude alone is a nonstarter.
Anyway, what part don't you get?
Point to something specific and I'll answer it.

You're not going to specify what exactly you don't understand?
Guess I'll wrap this up then?

Everyone except you
shares the common goal of
recognizing the borderline personality issue as a form of diversity.
Communities that can't preserve this kind of diversity tend to die out.

First off, not understanding jargon and lacking reading comprehension are two different things.
Also, jargon exists so experts can skip explanations among themselves.
If you want people here to actually listen, try explaining it plainly and simply, without the jargon.

To someone like you I could just say "ｇｇｒｋｓ" ("Google it, dumbass" — classic 5ch brush-off)
and leave it at that, but fine — which term don't you get?

Jargon is just shorthand — if you can't explain it in your own words without changing the meaning, it's pointless.
He's just using intimidating-sounding words to seem smart and dodge the question.

Normally by this point he's already said
"I'm wrapping this up!"
and bolted, so
why is the OP still hanging around?
Feel free to "run away" already, lol
Surprised you're the one calling this "running away," lol

Figured as much.
As his own copy-paste shows, it's just a random assemblage of logic — even he doesn't know what he's saying, and he can never explain the same thing the same way twice.
And he can't actually explain or elaborate on it either.
That's just the kind of guy he is.

It's literally right there at the top of the thread title, lol
"Borderline personality" is the umbrella term for Cluster B personality disorders, of which there are four:
・Narcissistic personality disorder
・Borderline personality disorder
・Histrionic personality disorder
・Antisocial personality disorder
The problems with these

The term "borderline personality problem" never actually came up.
I get what "borderline personality" means now.
What I don't get is the "problem" part.
What exactly do you mean by "solving the borderline personality problem"?

That's just because you don't know about borderline personality disorder.
It's almost never discussed as anything other than a problem.
The "borderline personality problem" keeps existing because "the cause is unknown" and "a false cause has spread."
I'm kicking that ladder out from under it and spreading the correct answer — "it's simply a defective product" — to tear down the whole illness-as-vested-interest racket.

So: the solution to the borderline personality problem is spreading the true cause — the fact that it's "simply a defective product" — to tear down the illness-as-vested-interest racket, and that's the whole reason >>1 started this thread?
Is that what you're saying?

If anything, the more central part is this bit:
"The borderline personality problem keeps existing because 'the cause is unknown' and 'a false cause has spread' — I'm kicking that ladder out from under it."
That's really the main point.

It's a recurring thread, so if you've got objections or opinions, there's always next time.
