    I wonder if there is a point at which all those self proclaimed alpha males realize that someone like Greta is ten times more alpha than they ever could be…

      10 times 0 is still 0. She’s infinitely more of the things they want to be but aren’t.

      Infinitely more brave Infinitely more principled Motivated Informed Respected

      But do you know the only thing that they are ACTUALLY upset about because they are pathetic losers, is that she is infinitely more famous than them and their ilk and their “leaders”

      If Greta wasn’t in the limelight none of the podcast bros would know or care, because they are incurious and uninformed

      Those “alpha males” are just “lone wolves”. And a lone wolf is a wolf kicked out of the pack.

      The true alpha is the leader that takes care of the pack so it never gets hungry and defends the pack from aggressors.

        True alpha doesn’t exist because it comes from a very flawed study on wolves in captivity that the original author himself spent the rest of his career trying to discredit.

        Wolves in the wild generally operate in family units with a mother and father leading. There is no alpha

        Wolves leave their packs as a perfectly normal part of their lives, either to roam a bit before returning or to find a new pack. It’s important for genetic diversity that they not all be glued to the hip from birth. There’s also no such thing as an alpha or leader.

        I think meerkats better fit the mental idea most people have of wolves.

      They are merely alpha versions and often not even that.
      Greta is the release version of badassdom.
