Are “good guys” beta males, and “evil guys” alphas?

Don't buy into the alpha/beta bullshit.
@DDonde so it’s all illusion to you then?

@Temporallube illusion?
@DDonde I thought you meant the concepts above weren’t “real” to you when you say “don’t buy into it”.

Incorrect?

@Temporallube Yeah, Alpha/Beta is just made up stuff - there's no actual hierarchy like that IRL.
@DDonde money is not really “real”, but it’s still a social reality. So is the concept of “deity”.

Despite you calling them made up stuff, do you think people who believe in those concepts make them “real” for themselves? And by extension, make others be influenced by their assumed behavior of what an alpha or beta is supposed to be?

@Temporallube No, "Alpha/Beta" are supposed to be objective descriptions of people.
Money is real. it's an abstraction, but it has a measurable impact.
@DDonde interesting
