    Because the scientist who coined the term didn’t spend decades trying to unfuck his bad research or anything…

    Alphas literally are not real.

      Alpha males are so desperate to be ubermenchen, its like Neitzscheism cranked up to 11.5

      I suspect alpha males feel insufficiently masculine the way trans men do, only the latter group is contending with a feminine body. The alpha males just have a bad internal guage.

      It is kinda funny that after a scientist made the mistake of anthropomorphizing a pack of wolves during his research, we found that a lot of people identifying as “alphas.” Maybe the scientist just chose the wrong field.
