    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.

      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.

      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).

      The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

    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.

        It largely depends on what lense you parse your logic through, if its the lense of accumulating wealth and power you will almost always reach the same conclusion, the same if you use dialectical Materialism you will almost always reach yhe same conclusion. In the first instance you wont be able to understand how others can’t see the truths that are burning into your retinas, while in the latter truth you will understand exactly why they avoid the rubric of logic which brings makes their lifestyle unable to accept they are everythig wrong with the world and dragging us int a greenhouse heat death in the pursuit of profit.

          the same if you use dialectical Materialism you will almost always reach yhe same conclusion

          Material and historical conditions vary widely. Dialectical Materialism exists to synthesize solutions to a variety of contradictions. Stalin, Mao, and Tito reached some very different conclusions, despite growing up during the same international conflagration. Subsequent leftist revolutionaries - from Che to Chavez, had their own takes on the best path forward. A lot of leftist infighting can be attributed to these differences in baseline material condition.

          A relatively wealthy leftist living in the imperial core is going to have this sense of living in a post-scarcity world with a relatively liberal social order, while a Philippian labor organizer is going to be struggling just to survive while the state’s brutal police forces actively hunt them. Chinese communists and Vietnamese communists have a very acrimonious history together and are easily pitted against one another by European industrialists. And coalition building between northern Indian communist farmers and the Kashmiri neighbors who they are in economic competition with is extremely difficult.

          While you can always talk about the straight hyper-moral correct positions, they don’t always lend themselves to the physical labor involved in building local movements or the historical biases native to your region.

          One big take away of dialectical materialism is that outcomes aren’t clear and conclusions aren’t certain. You always need to try things, anticipate failure, and move forward from there. You can’t trap yourself in rigid ideology or you’ll find that ideology used against you as soon as capitalist leadership can adopt that rhetoric.

      Or if they’re like a few people I know…whose critical thinking skills are “parrot opinions from someone who I think is almost as smart as me (according to me) because I exclusively listen to them”

    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.

    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.
