Why would this be in reference to Wilhelm Reich?
Comment on America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting

I assume this is referring to William Reich the psychoanalyst. His books look interesting in the way all kooky psychoanalysis crankery does, but I don’t think he ever wrote about high T alpha males before dying in 1957.
He did write about about how fascists gain power by sexually repressing the population though. I’m sure Elon would hate his views on that.

It is mocking Robert Reich.

Oh I just noticed the post actually says “the Reich effect”

“Reich effect” on google is wall to wall Nazi shit. “Reich effect psychology” leads to oldmates Wikipedia page.

Fascists gaining power by sexually repressing the population doesn’t sound kooky at all. It’s sounds like reality.
