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.
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
dude we've seen you in swimwear. you look like a barrel on a stick. you can't act like you're prime specimen anymore. fucking troglodyte.
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.
I posted this on Mastodon. In case you believe"alpha males" are smart, there is a bodybuilders forum that argued for page after page about how many days there are in a week.
A democracy that is only democratic for the strongest, is not a democracy at all.
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.
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!"
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
You folks know what's up though, you don't need me to tell you anything here. Love you guys, sorry we have a jackass amongst our population, you know how it is
Adventures in bad sociology, fascism, and gender/neurological chauvinism with our favorite billionaire.
As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.
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.
Holy shit, I assumed this was fake but it's not https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1830390502836854925 (link accessible as of 2024-09-02)
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.
I hope someone simply linked a wiki definition of the word oligarchy, because that would literally be what this is. One in-group that practices democracy amongst themselves but excludes the rest from political power.
I assume this is referring to William Reich the psychoanalyst. His books look interesting in the way all kooky psychoanalysis crankery does, but I don't think he ever wrote about high T alpha males before dying in 1957.
He did write about about how fascists gain power by sexually repressing the population though. I'm sure Elon would hate his views on that.
Do you want 'the handmaid's tale'? Cause that is how... You do? Oh
Another use for the Killer T cells, other than fighting cancer?
So what i'm taking from his word salad is that combat abilities may possibly be a hidden asd perk.
I mean, we do tend to be biters...
I assume this is objective truth then, something that definitely exists and we can definitely know. I'm sure they have plenty of science to back it up.
They wouldn't just hear a bunch of thinly disguised bullshit built on the back of junk science and take it at face value without checking if any of it is real, not this person with their special objective truth brain.
So The Handmaid's Tale then?
So to get the right to vote you have to win a trial by combat?
If every [Fox] screen says it?
It's projection again.
With how much he whines about this shit I guarantee he takes tes and feels insecure about it
That's like asking the tallest dwarf to reach the top shelf
The funny part is that the conservatives are the ones who are, by nature, authoritarian followers.
Lost me at the “high T alpha”.
This must be the truth engine that enticed him to invest in Dogecoin.
Dude is immune to irony 🤦♂️
Truly ironic
So does this mean the "meathead" stereotype is dead or...
He saw the word "alpha" and ran with it!
This is why all scientists are athletes.
This is obviously highly suspicious, but
The amount of people parroting just whatever is currently in without critically questioning it (or even being open to question it) (looking at you, fascists (maga) and tankies (pro-putin /pro-hamas)) is too high
I don't know what makes a person lose interest in politics and just parrot whatever the others parrot, but I'm highly suspicious that T is it. I think that part is just a lie in Elon's interest to spread.
BTW I just assumed that T is testosterone
