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

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 61 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 73 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I think a ton of trains would actually solve a lot of issues

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.

Oh, so right-wing men with the right genes are the chad and everyone else is the soyjak.

Truly an "interesting observation," thanks Elon.

And by "right genes" they mean "my Daddy is rich" of course.

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.

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

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.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] JerkyChew@lemmy.one 35 points 2 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

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

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!"

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.
