How can we encourage genuine discourse and thought in an era where people are all but dependent on their computers for information, but where all modes of communication have been commoditized to promote the owner's self-interest?

What does it mean to be alpha? Is alpha just cool and aloof, highly desirable/attractive and independent and the high social status and social skills those characteristics imply?

Can an alpha be perceived as genuinely nice or would this be a contradiction? I think alphas can be functionally nice but it has to be perceived as lending a hand rather than trying to win sb. over so the point of reference has to be "look at my implied high amount of resources, I have enough to not give a damn so I can help out a pleb like you and the opportunity cost would not even affect my vast social wealth lmao".

Is this how to "lifehack" acting alpha?

Whenever I ponder this I end up hating myself as a human. Why is human psychology such a shit? Why is there no foolproof approach to such things? Neetztche was right -- Free will my ASS! Only question is where to go from here. CBT until my face turns blue? Fuck this shit why can I not just force myself? Well who says I can't? Maybe I'm going to do just that? How do you like that, my ''ego depleted'' brain? Maybe I want to suffer? Maybe u should kill urself if you don't like it?
