dude has another banger today too, again from the bitter 4chan incel memepool but in bigger words: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/nxmyGYfZaXvKALWGK/lukehmiles-s-shortform#ijhf8stE4Thc9CWXP
The higher-T among us seem significantly brain damaged since high school (myself included). I wonder what the mechanism would be here…
Any sensible statistical analysis of brain damage must control for common brain injury factors, chief among them American football and frequenting Less Wrong. My money is on rat poison and not T poison.
Look, you gotta forgive this guy for coming up with an insane theory that doesn’t make sense. After all, his brain was poisoned by testosterone, so his thinking skills have atrophied. An XXL hat size can only do so much, you know.
Clearly he should have gotten even more Testosterone so eventually the ‘I cannot buy hats’ problem would be solved in the traditional non-woke japanese way. If we are running on 4chan logic.
The comments get even nuttier (im sorry):
Or, if testosterone changes attention (as Gunnar wrote), learn as much as possible before the testosterone fully hits… and afterwards learn it again, because it could give you a new perspective.
Yeah sure, just learn university courses before puberty. And then again after.
I have a tremendously large skull (like XXL hats) - maybe that’s why I can still do some basic math after the testosterone brain poison during puberty? […] Now I’m looking at tech billionaires. Mostly lo-T looking men. Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos were big & bald but seem to have pretty big skulls to compensate
Mark phrenology off your bingo cards, Foppington’s law strikes again:
Once bigotry or self-loathing permeate a given community, it is only a matter of time before deep metaphysical significance is assigned to the shape of human skulls.
because of course this complete dipshit isn’t good at anything, he managed to google for this without uncovering the most basic facts about it:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7705876/
Testosterone (T) therapy is routinely prescribed in adolescent males with constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) or hypogonadism.
literally the opposite of what he thinks is true: hrt is trivially accessible, you just need a doctor to eyeball you and determine you’re not bro enough. BUT, only if you’re cis.
another fun fact along these lines: in the UK, you can get hrt over the counter, but only if you’re an old cis woman
But here’s a recipe for success according to the theory:
- start slamming testosterone and amphetamines to get your workaholicism, betterThanEveryone complex, and drive for power
Yet another dude who watched Wolf of Wall Street and thought “yes, this is what peek success looks like, I’ll aspire to be like this”. Absolute rubes the lot of them.
