On the Alpha-beta comparison in the field of intellectuals, he is someone who stand his ground regarding his core-beliefs, can listen emphatically to others viewpoints, never looses his temper even under high pressure situations, has a lot of followers who genuinely enjoy listening to him. What do you make of that?
None of those things signal an alpha imo.

But just because it has carried on since the 60's doesn't mean that we shouldn't challenge it, quite the contrary. It's no biological "thing" that have arised as some sort of natural selection, it's the work of people with low self-esteem that try to change the cultural norms. That must be challenged, because otherwise we have a cultural system that enforces victimhood and less individual responsibility in various life-areas.
It is biological. It came from people, and people are biological. Trying to change it is like trying to change gravity. It won't happen.
As for the victim thing, you NEVER have to be a victim. I remember my grandpa told me a few weeks ago something about some politician. He was like "That guy doesn't care how hard it is for people like us to make a living" and I was ashamed at the level of beta in that remark. I don't expect anyone to care how "hard" it is for me and I always make my own way without expecting handouts.
It's the same with this PC BS, trying to "change the system" is just another beta method to try and get your needs met. Instead, do everything yourself and forget about the system!
