Will Scott Alexander post another article with a title that matches "The [disease] of [emotion]" before 2028?

Prediction market on manifold. The Cowpox of Doubt The Toxoplasma of Rage The Influenza of Evil He's got to be doing it on purpose, right? The first variable can be either a disease or a pathogen, I'm not going to be quibble about the difference. The second variable can be an emotion, philosophical concept, or maybe even something else like a political ideology; it just needs to have the same general vibe. The other two words must be identical; for example I won't accept one that starts with "a" instead of "the". It must be the title of a full article, not just a section header or social media post. IDK if he still uses Livejournal, but that won't count. It does count if it's a guest article that's posted somewhere other than ACX. I will also count a full-length post on LessWrong or the EA forum. Articles he's published in the past other than the three I mentioned above don't count, but let me know if any exist.
