It's funny how I've tried to bring some of that most blokey guys I have come across on mountaineering and such, and the vast majority weasal out of it

And the biggest badasses I know always drive the most basic cars lol

If you're an actual car guy, you're probably driving some absolute piece of shit that you've been continuously breathing life into for the last ten years.

The folks with the real high end luxury stuff just end up leaving their vehicles in the shop for half the year.

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.

Imagine thinking that you’re tougher than context.

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.

I'm autistic and I've never heard the term 'aneurotypical' before...

[–] theoretiker@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Neurotypical exists. Neurodivergent is the more "leftist" or scientific term for what they mean.

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.

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...

Another use for the Killer T cells, other than fighting cancer?

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.

Inb4 people start taking a Lemmy shitpost seriously and argue with it.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (10 children)

I mean its an interesting subject so why not? The whole "what would the tribe think" thing is definitely real. But where they went wrong is thinking that this is a bad thing. Its literally the only reason humanity has survived so long. Without some sort of consensus there is no cooperation and no tribe.

The issue of "bruteforceability" stems from the fact that too many people are terminally online. In fact Musk is the prime example of someone that has fallen victim to this.
