Alpha males
-
I'm right still, you are wrong! Alpha is not problematic in any way. It's in the Bible (the best selling book on Earth, at least at one time), it's used in pop culture while not referring to the study in any way. So now annoying people use "alpha" just like "king" and "prince" and "the best" and "the greatest".
You'll all get over it soon, as usual. I promise.
p.s as per your question, yes I do know of it, as stated in my post that you responded to. I'm sorry that referring to it was an inadequate indicator that I knew of it, so I'm guessing your question is a joke? I mean, it's obvious.
What’s it like living inside of your own asshole?

Gee. It's almost like language evolves!

Blood related, adopted, or is it more of a spiritual relationship? (For sex reasons)

wrote last edited by [email protected]Wow, this is big news... you should write Webster, Oxford, et al immediately and let everyone know they've made a massive mistake! Thank you for saving us from this horrid linguistic error!

You are 100% wrong, and not even worth an insult. You bring shame to your family and make me sad.

I don't know, you tell me... here we are having a nice discussion, and why are you thinking of assholes? Nasty.
Alpha means first, as it has for millennia. Get mad about it

No, alpha is the anglicization of the first letter of the greek alphabet. It doesn't mean 'first' any more than the letter A does.
wrote last edited by [email protected]You're wrong according to any dictionary ever printed, sorry.
It has more than one definition, and one of those is "first", and you must accept that as fact.

In correct. "It" does have many definitions, but none of them are 'first'.

Think about rape out of nowhere some more, that will surely prove you're not a vile worm

I think "alpha" males appear naturally in some species, but not in wolves and definitely not in hominids, lol.

wrote last edited by [email protected]You're wrong, according to the definition, anyway. You should let Oxford know that you know better! I'm sure they will crown you as king.

I see that my definition comes before yours, so I am king.

I'm glad you learned something today... now go forth, and sin no more.
You could say... that your favorite definition is the "alpha" of definitions.

A crown made of internet points isn't heavy at all.

I find it fascinating how oblivious people pretend to be about what our natural social hierarchies are, making fringe speculations ranging from proto-capitalism, over alpha male fantasies, to proto-communism.
Maybe it's too obvious, or too boring, but it's families. Incidentally, happens to be the same for actual, natural packs of wolves.

Hey hey hey!

Counterpoint:
Humans in a civilized (meaning urbanized) society... are domesticated, are basically in captivity, from the comparative framework of wild animals.
CounterCounterpoint:
Using studies on captive wolves as a fundamental basis for how human societies do or should work...
... Is maybe really stupid compared to, I don't know, using Sociology as a basis to understand human societies.
Sociology being the field that focuses on the social dynamics of uh, humans, which are markedly different from wolves, and other distinct, largely non sapient animals.
Its uh, kinda in our name, homo sapiens sapiens.

What about urban existence resembles captivity? You aren't constrained geographically or denied personal autonomy. In fact, you have significantly more freedom and autonomy precisely because you're at the hub of a large, well-developed collection of infrastructure and accumulated resources.
I would not consider a human in a city any more "in captivity" than a duck in a lake.

So nice they named us twice

I guess. I was able to engage in real conversation on Reddit and still do here, sounds like you've not really trying.
