I'm becoming ever more convinced that the reason most normies hate / misunderstand incels is because of a fundamental neurobiological difference in neurotransmitter makeup.
In my life I have gone very often from euphoria to depression and back, either due to life events or psychiatric interventions. Neurotransmitters affect the very formation of your thoughts from the ground up, automatically and without you having a say in it, despite an illusion of control over your mental flow. Bad mood causes negative ideas and not the reverse. If you doubt the biopsychiatry hypothesis, you haven't experienced how much mood-altering chemicals / procedures, or mood disorders, can change you from the bottom up.
High serotonin = high trust, high empathy, high optimism
Low serotonin = low trust, low empathy, high pessimism
Someone with high serotonin will often be unable to understand someone with low serotonin and vice versa... Incel ideas are mostly low serotonin and therefore sound weird to high serotonin individuals. The same goes for alt-right ideas (the distrust of foreigners sounds very weird to someone with high S).
As to the ideal brain makeup, it's honestly high serotonin, because society is designed for high serotonin.
