      The "alpha"/"beta"/"omega" phenomenon is something observed in wolves in captivity -- who had no relationship with each other and were freaked out at being trapped together, and had "dominance fights" for that reason It's like trying to study human society based on prison gangshttps://twitter.com/eevee/status/1332382443207155714 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      eevee @eevee
      your regular reminder that alpha wolves are not a real thing and the concept has only stuck around because, idk, i guess humans love bootlicking and love to think that wolves do it too

      I do think about how a lot of bad zoology was based on lazy scientists putting animals in wildly unnatural environments for their convenience and thinking this would get them useful data It's like reality TV

      Put a bunch of random strangers who'd have absolutely no reason to interact with each other under normal circumstances in one big house and don't let them leave Find out what happens when they stop being polite and start getting real

      Also, by this point, the strangers aren't random at all. They're all wannabe stars, influencers, or business owners looking for a boost in visibility.

      I guess in this metaphor this is the problem about animals in an area where researchers have set up shop long-term becoming "semi-domesticated" and incorporating the researchers and the food they give out into their survival strategies

      Like how in LA now being on TV as a "person on the street" for an episode of something is, itself, a job that the city's many aspiring actors compete for

          Or, hell, in terms of actual science done on actual humans, the problem of "professional study subjects" signing up for all the studies and messing up the data Because the kind of person who does that does not reflect a randomly selected "typical" member of the general public
