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

      He’s so dense he doesn’t realize he’s the low T person being described, not the alpha male.

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

        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.

    “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

      He retweeted it from a page. Be noted those are both very right wing and very gatekeepy about autism (if they’re really autistic and not just some weirdo claiming to be such).

    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

    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.

          My go to example for “we should have let them cook” is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS

          The US government in 1962 regarded the project as a major threat due to the “tremendous increments in economic productivity” which could disrupt the world market. Arthur Schlesinger Jr, historian and special assistant to President Kennedy, described “an all out Soviet commitment to cybernetics” as providing the Soviet Union a “tremendous advantage” in respect to production technology, complex of industries, feedback control and self-teaching computers.

      A government of autists would come up with optimized solutions to many problems. The issue is that most people are resistant to actually fixing things, so everyone would just get mad.

        optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

          It’s almost always for a selfish reason though. For instance, health insurance in the U.S. could easily go away if the government combined all of the funding for public healthcare systems. It won’t happen because of the for profit healthcare industry.

    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.

    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.

    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
