First of all, if you want change, do you protest to remove a particular group of leaders, or do you have to look deeper to the underlying causes that bring them to power?There's no reason to choose between the two. Doing both simultaneously will increase the effect. Thing is..while you're advocating for that..the ideology you're affirming and the language you're using and the advocate that you're defending is not doing that. That ideology, that language, and that advocate..uses the backdrop of folk science to deflect and shield those things we (the pc left..lol) seek to change.
Quote:Alpha dominance, so far as I can tell, is not a conspiracy-- it's a biological fact, hard-coded in the human genome. A certain kind of man is more willing, and more able, to step into that role, as inevitably as a silver-back gorilla will. So what are we to do about this? Ban alpha dominance?The existence of alpha dominance is not an ameliorating item in the case of institutional or cultural inequality anymore than my having evolved to take a shit in my neighbors yard would be.
It's a pathetic attempt to dilute the issue in order to avoid change, in order to avoid complicity, in order to reduce ones discomfort.
Quote:That seems to be the case, in fact, but I don't think it's a strategy that's likely to succeed.Why does that seem to be the case to you? Are we black bagging "alpha males" and sending them off to the gulag...have petersons fears been fully realized and the white male genocide simply hasn't gotten around to me yet?
