    Despite numerous reports to the contrary, sex hormones such as testosterone have no measurable effect on economic behavior and risk taking, suggesting there was something fishy about original results. https://www.routledgehandbooks.com/doi/10.4324/9781315200439-23 …pic.twitter.com/8u7Jy85BC1

        I thought higher male risk taking due to gamete abundance is a core idea of evopsyche.. seems like it would be a significant blow to the field if this were false?

        That hypothesis would not necessarily imply that you can boost risk taking by giving people more T, also, T levels may well just be an accompanying symptom, rather than the cause of risk taking.

        When “science” agrees with progressive political views, it’s probably wrong.

        Small c conservatism conserves ( sorta) traditional behaviors: if they have lasted a long time, they're probably at least moderately compatible with biological reality.

        Were they taking sensitivity to testosterone into account? Test levels on their own don't give a full picture.

        Once total T is at least about 500, free T becomes more important than raising total T even more. T to E ratio also a factor.
