There’s no such thing as an “alpha male.” It’s a false myth with no bases in biology or science. That fact, however, hasn’t stopped the pseudoscience behind a natural dominance hierarchy among men from spreading like a virus through our media culture
If wr follow the rules of science, alpha are super weak and don’t last long
If we folllow the rules of software development, alpha are buggy releases that show basic functionality but require a lot of additional work before they are ready.
This sums up my ex step brother that always went on about alphaness. Thanks for the laugh
Is wr an acronym for something or just a misspelling?
It just means I am typing on my phone
The video briefly touches on the sigma myth also.

This is from Pop Culture Detective, so it’s written from the perspective of how this false theory pervades narratives throughout television and film. Its surprisingly common, unfortunately.
