Thanks a lot for the response, bro. You always give these really thought-out, high-IQ, and bookmark-worthy responses. Sometimes, I'll take a bit of time to respond to them, but I always read them. Thanks.
I am not high iq, i just try to give people leads so they can read up on it themselves. There is tons of info out there but most people just settle on repeating a bunch of platitudes they pick up from the community.
That's why people drop off or stop being "blackpilled" which should be a logical impossibility. It would be like moving on from understanding 1+1=2.
I try to provide people information, what they do with it is their stuff.
I don't know about that. Haven't researched on testosterone, but maybe I'll find some spare time to look stuff up. It's always good having knowledge.
Low T can affect men in several ways, even mood swings. Call today for a low t test - TRT treatment could be right around the corner.

It's completely contradictory. On one hand, testosterone makes you less anxious, calm, fixes depression, stabilizes your mood.
On the other hand, they claim it makes you more aggro, competitive and violent.
Look at this analysis which found that there is no conclusive evidence that testosterone is related to aggression:
Evidence for the relationship in humans
As mentioned previously, results from human studies are widely discrepant, although the relationship between testosterone and aggression in humans has been investigated a great deal (Archer, 1991). Some studies find a strong positive relationship, others a negative one, and still others find no effect whatsoever (Archer, 1991). This lack of consensus is sometimes evident even within studies. A good example is Turner (1994), where testosterone was positively correlated with norm-violating
The reason why the claims about the effect of T are so all over the place is because it is used as a tautology to shame men. When you are weak and fucked up, you are a "low t soy." But if you are aggro and chase foids and fight other men, you are "high T."
This is extremely reductionist, to say the least.
The reason for these behaviors are manifold. For example, there is also a connection between low cholesterol levels and aggression.
To give you an idea how deep this goes, there is actually research into how prisoners have low-cholesterol levels, as opposed to being High T:
Associations between low total serum cholesterol (TC) levels and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), violent and suicidal behavior have been found. We investigated the associations between TC levels, violent and suicidal behavior, age of onset of the conduct disorder (CD) and the age of...

Now combine this with the 300 studies that
@WorthlessSlavicShit linked, which show that on average women are just as physically violent as men. How does that square with the High T = more aggro hypothesis?
Personally I think this entire rhetoric is just another example of thinly veiled misandry. People try to find any excuse to shit on men.
The entire testosterone claim breaks down to gender biases like "men are just naturally more dangerous and violent because hormones bro."
and the other side of this dichotomy is of course: "Women are just naturally...
- less aggro
- better parents
- non-confrontational
- etc"
all of which has conclusively been debunked at this point. Single-Moms are terrible, the presence of the dad is the only thing that makes a difference in the parents life - this has been demonstrated by how shared-custody divorces lead to a normal upbringing but sole-custody cases where the mom gets the child lead to the well-established single-motherhood disaster factories.
Look at this archive and search for "father:"
I also want to highlight that a huge chunk of the prison population comes from single-mother households:
85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average. 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average. 85% of …

So to sum it up, I don't think men are just "naturally" more aggressive or violent. I think a lot of the violence is triggered by females, looking for female validation or being raised by mothers that encourage male vs male violence. We also see that violence coming from women is categorically ignored, that women are just as violent as men, and that this contradicts the "high T = violent" hypothesis, since women are obviously lower T on average than men.

Yep, no fucking way any person wants to work. It's a thing you got to do to keep yourself and your family alive. If everyone had NEETbux or something, or there was a utopia where people didn't have to work for a single second, I guarantee you, no one will speak out against it, no one will say "Hey, maybe we should do work" or "It's boring not doing work," as if work itself is the only thing you can do when you're bored. People keep coping saying that they love work or that work is necessary even if you're a fucking millionaire. I say go fuck yourself because I don't want to fucking work and if I could, I would sit on my ass every day.
Correct. This also overlaps with just world fallacy and other cognitive biases that people develop after achieving a privileged position.
Recall, winners in a rigged system think the system is fair.
One example of this that studies have found is why older people always shit on younger people.
Old people looove to claim their generation was better, less degenerate and more disciplined.
Meanwhile, what they found was that older people are just better off on average. They have established positions, more money, they own property.
This gives them a vantage point from which they then retroactively evaluate their own past.
However, they also found that old people that are not well off do the opposite. Old people with shit lives readily admit that their generation was no different from the new ones.

This is why I approach all doomsday news about society failing with a critical attitude. Take for instance all these claims about literacy going down. This is baloney. Book sales have been increasing for years. People are reading more than ever.
Harry Potter publisher says in challenging economic times books are seen as cheap form of entertainment
www.theguardian.com
Just an example.
So as you say, if the overall standard of living improved to the point where people would not have to work, they would suddenly defend that shit.
Your ability to draw these conclusions is amazing. I would like to be like you someday. I may actually be lower IQ than you, even though you claim to be average.
But yeah, mothers are the work of the devil and in the ideal world, no man would be woman-born, they would be born from a donor egg in an artificial womb and come out without having contact with females. Sex should be eliminated from society, just like ER said.
I wonder what the Marxist perspective on mothers is. I know that for schools, it says they are a brainwashing breeding ground for the obedient little worker-slaves that will serve their bosses in the future since they literally drill obedience to authority, sitting still in a chair for hours on end without saying a word, and hoop-jumping with assignments and tests.
Yeah school has nothing to do with education. When you ask most people what "education" means and what it's purpose is, they can not give you a justification. Education without an ultimate purpose is pointless. If your culture is nihilistic, what are you educating towards? What standard of human goodness are you striving towards, when nothing matters?
Might as well shoot up heroin and get the pleasure directly infused into my body right?
Education used to be about forming the character, making a better person out of the student.
Now it's just about filtering out the people that are not useful to the system. They try to quantify human beings and in order to do that, they had to atomize society. Everyone of us is now a little unit they count and measure. The idea of measuring human beings with a yardstick would have been laughable to people in the past.
There is also an aspect of behavioral conditioning in schools, with the bells giving you permission to leave and so on.
There is also no unifying element anymore. If you look at classic education approaches like the Trivium and the Quadrivium, they were all about having a holistic view of the world. Coherence.
Now you can go through the entirety of academia, become a professor, and not know about basic logical fallacies. It's madness.

Based fathers. The presence of a mother is literally detrimental to a child's emotional development because you're, as you said, creating these obedient-to-women brainwashed men and people who have problems with their emotions because people like their MOTHER bully them for expressing natural emotions like anger and sadness in their own homes (although you shouldn't cry in public because you'll lose respect in the eyes of men and women alike).
A child should never feel unsafe around their parents. It creates twisted people.
When the child feels unsafe, it will become mentally autonomous too early, because it want's to protect itself. Like, imagine being 5 years old and realizing, holy shit these people are retarded and dangerous, and then trying to fight for yourself.
I remember being a child and I was terrified of becoming like my parents when I get older. I thought something happens to you and you get brain damage or something.
The result is that these kids grow up extremely self-reliant and stubborn. They will not listen to anyone, they can't be reasoned with. They may become narcissistic, aka they view themselves as the center of everything and attack others to protect that vulnerable core insecurity they still have from childhood.
That's why I have schizoid tendencies, I suffer from extreme mental emotional withdrawal because my parents made every single day hell. I never enjoyed being with them or looked forward to coming home to them. I honestly don't think most people are supposed to have children, they are not fit for it.
