What's correlation, like 95% of people who talk about who are or aren't alpha, are just dudes desperate to get laid?

I feel like that's scientific

Can’t remember if it was my brother or a friend but they found a forum that essentially was about “being alpha”. I read some of the threads and I couldn’t tell whether it was extremely sad/ they were serious or laugh cause everyone is just a troll there. I tried to google it now but can’t find it. Most of the threads were asking if doing x thing was alpha or beta.

Thankfully, my dad is too alpha to use the internet. He checks out.

Reasonable points and there are ways that things are both better and worse on a lot of different scales and stuff. But Teddy seems to have fallen for a romantic idea of what man is that involves living alone in the woods where our social development doesn't outpace genetic rates of change so much. That's the only way he makes sense to me, is as a crazy loner naturalist.

Yeah ole Ted went off the cliff. I haven't read much of his manifesto, one of these days I'll get around to it, but from what I have read I think he's pretty good at pointing out issues with industrial society. But his solution amounts to go live innawoods and like you said he seems to have a romanticized idea of live before the Industrial Revolution.

It's really not possible to completely separate his claims from the underlying thesis that violence is the answer to the problems of the world, when the problems of the world can't be worse than a state of mass terrorism, and even in the bleakest non-nuclear outcomes the world won't become worse than a state of mass terrorism. So I don't think there's much to rescue from it. Even his criticisms are stiflingly vague. Notice how he generalizes, talking around points and not offering much in the way of evidence. Lots of circular reasoning.

I was in Yellowstone a while back, and was in a decent line of cars held up by a large bison herd. Now, the bulls were charging each other and spraying piss less than 20 yards away, and those fuckers were each the size of our car. So what do all the flaming retarded tourists do? Get out of their cars and start walking through the fucking herd. It was an incredible display of concerted, group stupidity. We could feel the impact of the bulls hitting each other in our vehicle.

Nobody got attacked while we were there, but there are lots of videos around of idiots getting more than they bargained for.
Even stupider than that imo, if you can believe such a thing, was a group of people we saw that had ringed in a large bull elk. There were maybe 8 or 9 people, and they pretty much encircled the animal within touching distance. Just yammering to each other, snapping pictures, easily within arm- let alone antler- reach. No possible way to escape from that distance if it had decided to kill them.
