  • There is zero science behind alpha, beta, etc. these are just limited utility labels made by scientists who were studying a small population of wolves in captivity to describe some of the behavior they were seeing.

    No brain scans, no biochemical analysis, no ability to interview the wolves and get their psychosocial perspective - just a questionably useful labelling practice for less than 100 animals outside of their natural habitat, under great stress due to being captives, while under observation for a relatively small amount of time.

    Anyone using these labels to make any claims about human behavior are honestly doing something stupider than astrology. At least astrology has thousands of years of history you could study and a community you could talk to. This alpha shit is paper thin.
