Holy poo poo I knew about Sodini but this one is even crazier. A (regrettably) pro click. I can't imagine how the evolutionary study of altruism can explain this and other related mass shootings. Sodini and Rodger both had the common thread of being terrified of being virgins forever (even though Sodini was an aging man who had actually had sexual relationships in the past but thought of himself as "over the hump" and doomed to a lack of sex forever afterwards). I bet if this guy had the internet we'd see similar themes. Is it an ideological action? Is it poor context and generalization skills? Other MRAs considered people like Rodgers and Sodini to be "relatable" in terms of their motives and in fact praised them. Is there any DE overlap with these kinds of reactions?

neonnoodle posted:The interesting thing to me about "low status/beta/omega males" in the NRx universe is how it overlaps with PUA/MRA stuff. It just stuns me that these guys have never heard of the Female Choice research during the 80s and 90s on various primate societies. We have multiple documented examples of female chimps leading the alpha males around in random walks until the male is tired, and then leading him to an area where he has an aggressive competitor, and while those two are fighting, skimps off to the bushes to mate with a "lower status" male primate who grooms her more frequently. Do they not know about basic sexual dimorphism in primates? They can't even get their pet theories right! I've only taken rudimentary bio courses to supplement my psych studies and even I know this. I try explaining this and other basic tenets of evo psych to my almost-TRP brother and he just goes "you don't get it man, evolutionary psychology says I'm hosed! I'm hosed!"

way prefer assholes/"alphas" and that patriarchy doesn't real because only alphas have any societal advantage.

grate deceiver posted:I'm at work now and can't post a direct link, but on Stanford's youtube channel there's a pretty great lecture series on human behavioral biology by Dr. Robert Sapolsky. Aimed at beginner-level students, so very little heavy biochemistry stuff. Or check out one of his books, dude seems to be on top of this poo poo. I recommend sapolsky's lectures. He may make a few glaring flaws (how he rails against behaviorism) but he helps to make many connections between constructs at the biological, evolutionary, and psychological levels.
