I’m a high T male, which is why I started balding at 20 and my balls are the size of grapes
anivia@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Balding is not related to testosterone, but rather Dihydrogentestosterone (commonly referred to as DHT). Although high testosterone levels often mean high DHT levels as well, it is possible to have high DHT whilst still having low testosterone levels.
The amount of androgen receptors in your scalp is also relevant, some people are just unlucky and have lots of androgen receptors in that area and start balding at a young age despite average DHT levels
SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I started balding at 18. Is this what being alpha is like?
_stranger_@lemmy.world 9 months ago
like, super alpha this time. S rank Alpha, but with a T. Best alpha this time, we promise.

All the “high T alpha males” I’ve ever met are also the least critical thinkers I’ve ever met.

be me high T alfa male born to breed and lead go to doc to confirm I am the most alfa of all doc says your T levels are through the roof fuck yeah it is I am a total chad doc is like nah bruh you got the big C mfw I only have 6 weeks left to live
GroundedGator@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah I tend to think that anyone who identifies as high t alpha male is actually just the opposite.
They are usually the ones seeking admiration and approval. Meanwhile the free thinkers are just doing our days and caring for our tribes. No approval needed.

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?
jaybone@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I think his mom told him not to.
rockerface@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I find it unlikely he’d listen to a woman. Unless maybe she threatened to take away the power cord
OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
I’m still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.
Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

We post greentexts and laugh, he posts this and says “interesting observation”.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He retweeted it from a page. Be noted those are both very right wing and very gatekeepy about autism (if they’re really autistic and not just some weirdo claiming to be such).

as someone with autism do NOT let us control everything. You’d get 27,000 cats and a ton of trains without any issues being solved.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
I think a ton of trains would actually solve a lot of issues

yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit

optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

Do not betray your own tribe brother. After all, why shouldn’t we get 27000 cats?

As an aneurotypical person, which, according to elon musk, makes me immune to propaganda and means that all my decisions are selfless, i can say that he is a liar who tries to make himself above other people and cares more about his public image than his kids

And by “right genes” they mean “my Daddy is rich” of course.

Autistic people are well known for not feeling the need to fit in. That’s why no autistic person ever spends 90% of their time in public masking who they really are

JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called “high T, alpha males.”
Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming…“you’re too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute” is just… wow.
Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history…used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they’d all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Powerful does not mean the same thing as “high T alpha male”.
Studies show that higher testosterone is associated with increased desire for fair competition and fair outcomes.
Anyone who puts a bullet into someone who challenges them is not a high status male. Power is not the same thing as status here.
JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 9 months ago
What an interesting part of my comment to nitpick.
nifty@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The post is starting out with the wrong assumptions so naturally it’s conclusions are wrong, top tier shitpost.
In the old days we’d use this kind of pseudoscience for mischief (you know, trolling), now it’s disinformation spread by useful idiots to upend their democracies.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 9 months ago
In the old old days, this was referred to as “religion” and was used to keep “those people” in their “place”…
ArchRecord@lemm.ee 9 months ago
TLDR; “weak people have to conform to social consensus otherwise they get hurt I guess?”
I, on the other hand, am a big, strong, high T alpha male, that isn’t worried about what anyone thinks! I am a free thinker, and I know my opinions are correct because I instantly based this entire opinion on a subjective, anecdotal view of the world that I then extrapolated meaning out of, the best evidence! /s
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
A democracy that is only democratic for the select few? I wonder what that’s called…
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Um… aktuly its called a Constitutional Republic.
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 9 months ago
Autist here.
We have a long history opposing societal, including gender, norms. And have deep connections with the early lgbt movements. Many people on the spectrum identify as queer.
Its not a secret that Elon believes he is on the spectrum, and we know he has at least one queer child. We also know that people who are stuck in the closest often channel this through self hate and hate of others who express.
Now that is interesting. “High T Males” on the other hands are a total joke.

I posted this on Mastodon. In case you believe"alpha males" are smart, there is a bodybuilders forum that argued for page after page about how many days there are in a week.

“Critical thinking skills only count if they’re MY critical thinking skills” do they not see the irony?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 months ago
There is a baseline assumption that “logical thinking” means everyone reaches the same conclusions.
Grayox@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
It largely depends on what lense you parse your logic through, if its the lense of accumulating wealth and power you will almost always reach the same conclusion, the same if you use dialectical Materialism you will almost always reach yhe same conclusion. And in each instance you wont be able to understand how others can’t see the truths that are burning into your retinas, seemingly unavoidable.
Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Or if they’re like a few people I know…whose critical thinking skills are “parrot opinions from someone who I think is almost as smart as me (according to me) because I exclusively listen to them”
JerkyChew@lemmy.one 9 months ago
Yeah, this is a really weird flex. They’re taking work from the author of The Mass Psychology of Fascism, which in a general sense can be used to compare Nazism to the current MAGA movement, but saying that those susceptible to it are… Beta males?
If these mental gymnastics were any more complex they would have won gold in France last week.

Ironic that only a source of “trust me bro, this is how NPCs work” is all that’s needed for Musk to be like: Derp my filter says it’s true! This must be true because it’s on 4chan, no sources or further thoughts needed…
Well, back to my compound, security guards, and lobbyists that protect me from the majority!

I’m yet another Autistic person chiming in here to say that Elon is an ass clown
I’ve met plenty of neurotypicals who defied group think, so this isn’t even close to right
You folks know what’s up though, you don’t need me to tell you anything here. Love you guys, sorry we have a jackass amongst our population, you know how it is
ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 9 months ago

Well, maybe those neurotypicals had a lot of T cells.
finkrat@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Nah man they evolved into a new class of existence, they went from high T to super U cells

Musk is a cunt whether he’s on the spectrum or not.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He doesn’t even know if he’s on the spectrum because, at least as far as we know, he hasn’t been evaluated. He just decided he has autism because he thinks it lets him get away with doing atrocious shit. As if autism made you an asshole.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Funny thing about that, I once did some investigation on the page he reposted it from, and they seem to be very against self-diagnosis, and put a great emphasis on the suffering of autistic people.
Lemminary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
Nah, he’s larping for the clout.
nikaaa@lemmy.world 9 months ago
high T alpha male
in other words, an asshole

Didn’t he get the 3rd Reich reference of the poster or doesn’t he care?
Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).
A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.
But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.
This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.
NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 9 months ago
Is he telling us he considers himself low T? Because it looks like he’s believing something he saw on 4chan.
scytale@lemm.ee 9 months ago
He’s so dense he doesn’t realize he’s the low T person being described, not the alpha male.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 months ago
He claims he’s autistic.
