  I’m right still, you are wrong! Alpha is not problematic in any way. It’s in the Bible (the best selling book on Earth, at least at one time), it’s used in pop culture while not referring to the study in any way. So now annoying people use “alpha” just like “king” and “prince” and “the best” and “the greatest”.

  You’ll all get over it soon, as usual. I promise.

  It does! However, alpha still means “first”, as it always has. The word predates the study by centuries.

  Alpha means “first”, it does not mean “wolf who fights other wolves while in captivity according to one study.”

  Do people not know this?
