What these two positions have in common is that they’re based on an objective analysis of science and technology as I understand them, rather than what any political movement wants me to believe. And that’s just the way I like it! Do I take the notion of alpha and beta males seriously? It depends on what notion of that you mean. In brief, I think that there are definitely dominance hierarchies in human social groups, and one does not even need to study any kind of theory to see this. Just hang out at a party with some fairly bro-ish young guys in their late teens to early twenties, and you’ll see well enough what the pecking order is.
