The Alpha Male Myth | Sci Guys Podcast

[@thiel_spencer]

It happened. Just like they always joke about I zoned out, went to grab some tea and came back zoned back in and all I heard was wildly off topic. Wildly confusing: "That's BDSM Jamp and that should stay within the confines of your own bedroom."

I think a part of why criminals are still likely to commit a crime after being released is also bc of how ex-convicts are treated, most notably that it's harder to get a job after they're released. but also the jail environment is bad bc of what corry explained and bc they aren't able to better themselves in that environment. iirc, there are studies that show that when criminals are treated with respect and offered mental health support, the rate of repeat offenses lowers. which... kinda seems obvious tbh but ya know

[@AmberWoodMusicx]

but also people may be in a worse environment outside of prison, homeless even, so at least prison has hot water, a bed and food

[@planetaryg0]

"culture causing previously innocent ppl to commit crime" this is also just what happens in the outside world lol

I think the best way to put the difference between the human ideas of being an "alpha", and that of animal's (who have that system), is that animals usually understand their position in the pack comes with responsibility. Yes, they can be the biggest and the strongest, but they also need to use that strength for the good of their pack.

I spent the whole of this episode thinking about the female alpha macaque 😂

[@BybeeBunnie]

I can’t believe this is how I found out how to spell ‘macaque’ 😭

I think you can use the pack description when wolves hunt or defend themselves- pack strategy. The social unit you can deem a family.

[@RemAtmos]

I feel like I’m watching Monty Python here with the questions Corry’s being asked lol

[@allanjmcpherson]

Speaking of quantum mechanics, I'm a psi male ... because ... you can represent me as a linear combination of vectors taken from a complete orthonormal set?

[@sallystrmose7592]

[@hunterroach666]

I know it's gonna be a good episode when you're arguing about *things* in the first 5 minutes

[@liesjelualockse6377]

Next time anyone asks me wether i'm alpha or beta imma say; i'm an elephant

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

I'm nonbinary agender, so I would be a phi male because Φ represents the null set, and I exist completely outside these typologies.

[@TheAngelChaz]

this is brilliant :)

[@LordKingRaven]

Say what you like about him but if we had gladiator matches instead of elections, Borris would destroy them all.

[@Nikhil76212]

don't slander pigs!!! they're kind and intelligent!! use better metaphors, like parasite, slime, etc. pigs are "dirty" only in captivity, so make what you will with that.

[@AnimilesYT]

I wouldn't say the hosts of this podcast are likable. I'd choose the word affable. Likable would still be a good description, but not the word I'd choose to use ;) In other words, 5/5

[@lokiscoffeerose663]
