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

    “Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

    Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

      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

    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

        What an interesting part of my comment to nitpick.

        Either you have an issue with the terminology…in which case take the terminology issues to Elon. I sure as fuck didn’t invent the terms.

        Or you buy into whatever garbage comes out his mouth. In which case don’t talk to me.

    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.

    Ironic that only a source of “trust me bro, this is how the 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!”
