The overlap of what makes a Sigma male, and what are symptoms of psychopathy is close to 1:1

Basically "Alpha male" = "I have friends because I'm good-looking and cool" "Beta male" = "I have friends because I'm a nice person who tries to help people" "Sigma male" = "I do not have friends"

The bizarre thing about this is how transparently they try to make this sound good and not bad "The sigma combines the alpha's disdain for following orders and trying to please people with the beta's ability to see past silly alpha games based on vain machismo"

It's like how obviously douchey the whole "Gray Tribe" thing is "See, I'm mostly Blue Tribe except in the ways I've adopted Red-Tribe-ish skepticism of Blue Tribe excess"

"I like Democrats for saying I should be allowed to have sex outside of marriage and smoke pot, but I become a lot more like a Republican when it comes to having to pay taxes or not be racist"

The thing is, it should be fine for people to pick and choose like that. Being a Democrat, or a Republican, shouldn't have to be an all-or-nothing affair. (Is my intrinsic liberalism showing here?)

I mean, they're *allowed*, I just don't see why I should take their completely self-serving standards as anything other than what they are

Well, for me I don't necessarily see the Democratic (or Republican) value bundle as having any intellectual purity to it. The Democrats are, for the most part, for what the majority of Americans are for, whatever that is, and whether or not it makes any real sense.

Republican values are even worse: they're almost guaranteed to be at least somewhat schizoid just by the nature of being the minority party in a FPTP electoral system, because they're necessarily the result of political compromise.
