    Just asked ChatGPT what the social structure of a Wolf pack is and it trotted out all the alpha, beta crap, because that’s now what most people believe.

    If you have to tell people you’re an alpha, you’re not.

      Back when Twitter was not known as a new name, I would respond to people in the time line talking about how they are alpha with this. Most of them just blocked me.

      There are no human alphas. Without each other we’re all weak ass bitches. Just look at the series “Alone”. Even the most rugged outdoorsmen absolutely get fucked hard when they are alone.

      We’re a social species. Our strength is our cooperation. Anyone who thinks he’s above the rest kicking ass all alone is just a moron.

        Not joining the whole alpha thing but where does alpha get described as lone?

        Meme Alphas are purported to be top dog but they still run with a pack

          True. Though I’ll add, none of these people actually are leaders in their friend group or community. They think that being an aggressive ahole makes them a leader when real leadership tends to be about gently convincing people that they want to do what you want done or that they should do it anyways

        There’s no wolf alphas in nature neither. It’s an old and debunked theory based on studying captive wolves.

          I found this too be quite interesting:

          To me, this makes all the “I’m an alpha, like a wolf” bumble even funnier. Nah, you’re just a cat person with poop on the brain.

          To be absolutely clear to anyone who hasn’t read about this; it was debunked by the same guy who came up with it in the first place!

          The dude studied wolves in captivity, drew conclusions about their behaviour, then applied those studies to wolves in the wild and discovered that he’d got it all wrong. The behaviours that he observed in captive wolves were all stress responses.

            To be fair, the alpha male thing in humanity is also a stress response.

            Didn’t he also put a bunch of adolescent wolves together for that? It was basically a lupine Lord of the Flies in there.

              No no you’ve got it backwards. Those are just stress responses. Human alphas do exist but you have to put them in the wild with a hungry pack of wolves.

              Absolutely. He had the courage to question his own assumptions when they were challenged by new evidence. Everyone could stand to learn from him.

    The only thing I know about wolf socialization is from a documentary I saw where 2 wolves were fucking and the girl wolf’s dad came back with the rest of her pack and caught them and when the boy wolf tried to run away he dragged her down like 3/4 of the giant hill they were on by his dick before it popped out. It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.

    Any time someone uses the terms “alpha”, “beta”, or “sigma” unironically when referring to a person, I immediately write them off as a braindead waste of oxygen.

      On an unrelated note, nothing screams dominance more than someone who gets their lifeprotips from a guy who needs to abuse women to get them to listen to him, and got arrested by the police. Sure seems the police are the alphas in this case lol.

        Props to the judge who reminded the jury in the defamation case that it was already established fact that Trump had raped E Jean Carrol as were the findings from a previous case, and to disregard Trump’s attorneys who claimed otherwise.
