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

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 60 points 3 months 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.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 29 points 3 months ago

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

All the "high T alpha males" I've ever met are also the least critical thinkers I've ever met.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 53 points 3 months ago

And none of them have ever backed it up with a blood test

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.

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.

As an aneurotypical person, which, according to elon musk, makes me immune to propaganda and means that all my decisions are selfless, i can say that he is a liar who tries to make himself above other people and cares more about his public image than his kids

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.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago

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

In the old days we’d use this kind of pseudoscience for mischief (you know, trolling), now it’s disinformation spread by useful idiots to upend their democracies.

[-] ArchRecord@lemm.ee 45 points 3 months ago

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

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 41 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

Yeah, this is a really weird flex. They're taking work from the author of The Mass Psychology of Fascism, which in a general sense can be used to compare Nazism to the current MAGA movement, but saying that those susceptible to it are... Beta males?

If these mental gymnastics were any more complex they would have won gold in France last week.

I'm yet another Autistic person chiming in here to say that Elon is an ass clown

I've met plenty of neurotypicals who defied group think, so this isn't even close to right

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.

Why some of the smartest people can be so very stupid | Psyche Ideas

Basically many people who have the raw processing power or "IQ" to understand and analyse things can still lack certain "mental infrastructure" or education to understand things. This is especially atrocious for narrow minded people who actively rejected new information that doesn't fit into their mental comfort zone. Musk is definitely one of them.

This is the reason why we can't have nice things.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Musk is definitely one of them.

I've yet to see any evidence that Musk is particularly smart. What I've mostly seen is his ability to throw big parties and charm investors with bullshit business speak, while riding a wave of lucky bets and state subsidies to billionaire-hood.

People who work together can't really do democracy. The only true democracy is the one where a small number of people order everyone around without the input of most people. Because that's what democracy means.
