2/ Examples: * Roman McClay's books and patreon, selling confused and angry young men a "philosophy" that glamorizes revenge and murder * Jack Murph's "Liminal Order" where you pay $100 / month to join a secret clubhouse and network with other alphas

100% Easiest way to spot a grift IMO is if they have written a book Read their book(s) and if you like it, support them If they don’t care enough to write, publish and market a book they just want easy $ Any ‘course’ or ‘group’ is most likely a grift

For example: I have purchased and read your books and enjoyed them Very simple- I will purchase next round of books! I did not have to join a ‘super secret club’ or do a ‘course’ to unlock my hidden potential

So, basically these "alpha males" are co-opting the instant expert phenomenon that started in the late-90s in blogging-based management consulting? Did they pay royalties to all the bloggers-turned-strategic-consultants of yesterdecades?

This sounds like the iron catastrophe in the trust/mentoring space. Birth rate lowers the production of marks, internet enables growth of con artists, feeding frenzy in overpopulated niches.

Deeply annoying phenomenon. Almost the inverse of the way Tom Lehrer described the ideological grift of the Hippie era: "...[they] confuse authenticity with artistic merit, and illiteracy with charm." Compared to this, that seems almost healthy.
