America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting

  Is he telling us he considers himself low T? Because it looks like he’s believing something he saw on 4chan.

  source

  • scytale@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    He’s so dense he doesn’t realize he’s the low T person being described, not the alpha male.

  “High T alpha males” oh good, they invented a new gender again and it sucks.

    I’m a high T male, which is why I started balding at 20 and my balls are the size of grapes

    source

    • anivia@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

      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.

    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

      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

  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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

  The post is starting out with the wrong assumptions so naturally it’s conclusions are wrong, top tier shitpost.

  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

  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.

      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.

  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.
