Apparently just having some testosterone makes you less likely to lie or as they put it, engage in strategic prosocial behaviour (twitter.com)

Isn't it interesting how these prosocial behaviors overall benefit the status quo? Can't think of aaaaany reason as to why they would ever want to quietly find ways to reduce the testosterone in the populations of the first world.

That's something of a tautology. Behavior designed to integrate into society with minimal friction aids those who benefit from the current arrangement of society. Well, yeah.

His more interesting point is that the powers that be benefit from the feminization of society and men in particular. It's why things like feminism and troonery are so useful to them. It also explains the push for veganism in certain quarters. Eating meat is one of the easiest ways to boost testosterone.

Which only works in a post-X society. One where those same powers assume that all businesses that need to exist are already existing and that violence has been replaced by money maneuvers.

Which is why they immediately also started importing 3rd worlders into those same countries, because they recognized that wasn't true and they still needed grunt labor and physically able idiots.

Strategic prosocial behavior? Ah, they mean lying through ones teeth.

To think they'd make up a doublethink word for lying.

I’ve always understood the 15 point IQ gap to be a measure of capacity to manipulate. Honest and moral people are locked out of that particular “boost”.

Female manipulation only works when you want to fuck them. Those "feminine wiles" don't work when she's a 50-year-old hag or your sister.

Except that IQ gap doesn't even exist.

They can't even be honest enough to call it "lying", that's how deceitful they are. Absolutely disgusting.

Bro science calls it bitch brain, and lifting heavy shit consistently at the gym usually cures it.

Bro scientists have been more accurate than lab coat scientists for a while now.

The manosphere is best understood as dissident observers comparing notes until their anecdotes eventually turned into data.

In retrospect this seems rather obvious.

It also seems obvious from a purely philosophical/logical perspective. If a man is stronger, he's more able to survive on his own and survive conflict, which means he's less afraid of the consequences of being ostracized by a corrupted society or community, less likely to shy away from a conflict, and more likely to speak the truth plainly and openly, even if it will hurt other's feelings.

Tangentially related, this is one of the great lies of feminist/globalist thought, that telling the truth isn't preferable if it hurts their feelings. On the contrary, telling someone the truth, if they're in the wrong, is the most loving thing you can do for them. If you truly care about someone, you won't wish them to come to harm through a false belief or behavior, which could lead them to failure, harm, and death. Thus, if you truly love someone, you'll tell them the truth, no matter what. That person may believe you or not, but that's not up to you. The only thing you can do is tell them the truth, the rest is up to the person to change, or not. It's still their choice. Of course, being a berating jerk is less likely to win people over, and subtlety of persuasion can work wonders. However, there are some people, like modern Reddit tier leftists, which are almost entirely incapable of being convinced that they're wrong. In that case, nature itself is required to punish these people or weed them out entirely, because of their stupidity.

Hold up. Is it violent when you fix your pets? Why are there so many public service announcements to engage in this violence?

There was an NPR article on testosterone from years back - I'm too lazy to look around for it at the moment - where the entire station got tested for their T-levels.

The guy with the highest T level? The gay man.

There's also implications that high T is indicative of your political choices. Implying that Low-T literally makes you vote democrat.

Fun stuff.

Political beliefs are downstream from temperament, which is frequently a direct expression of hormones.
