    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

      What? Someone making sense about the social evolution of humans? Not on my internet!

      Stop your honking, Nancy. I know. I was calling people who claim to be alpha, “weak ass bitches.”
