Via the Grauniad (so take with a flat of salt):
Scientists discover brain’s neural switch for becoming an alpha male
Timid mice turn bold after their ‘alpha’ circuit is stimulated as results show ‘winner effect’ lingers on and mechanism may be similar in humans
Brash, brawny and keen to impose their will on anyone who enters their sphere of existence: the alpha male in action is unmistakable.
Now scientists claim to have pinpointed the biological root of domineering behaviour. New research has located a brain circuit that, when activated in mice, transformed timid individuals into bold alpha mice that almost always prevailed in aggressive social encounters.
Determinism getting you down? AYO HOL UP FOR DAT SCIENCE SEQUEL
In some cases, the social ranking of the subordinate mice soared after the scientists’ intervention, hinting that it might be possible to acquire “alphaness” simply by adopting the appropriate mental attitude. Or as Donald Trump might put it: “My whole life is about winning. I almost never lose.”
The brain region, called the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), was already known to light up during social interactions involving decisions about whether to be assertive or submissive with others. But brain imaging alone could not determine whether the circuit was ultimately controlling how people behave.
The latest findings answer the question, showing that when the circuit was artificially switched on, low-ranking mice were immediately emboldened. “It’s not aggressiveness per se,” Hu said. “It increases their perseverance, motivational drive, grit.”
This is a rebuke to all those dummies who falsely equate “alphaness” with aggression. Studiously refusing the temptation to be a wilting betaboy flower watching the world of women go by is not the same as unloading ten clips of aggro douchebaggery on unsuspecting innocents.
With brain stimulation, low ranking mice won 90% of the time against animals they would normally have lost to.
Lesson for beta males: YOU HAVE IT IN YOU. Romantic failure is not a fate you must quietly await.
“When we took mice that used to lose in the tube test they could win within just several seconds of stimulation,” said Hu.
Someone will invent an Insta-Alpha pill that will give betas a temporary boost of sufficient fortitude to ask women out, and it will radically change the sexual market like nothing else has, not even porn.
Intriguingly, the experience of winning appeared to leave an imprint on the mice, making them more assertive, even when their brains’ were no longer being artificially controlled. They were found to be more combative in a second scenario in which they competed to occupy the warm corner in a cage with an ice-cold floor.
“We observed that not all the mice returned to their original rank,” said Hu. “Some mice [did], but some of them had this newly dominant position.”
The scientists described this as the “winner effect”, hinting that there may be a grain of truth in the self-help mantra “fake it ‘til you make it”.
Spare a moment for me preen? CH, 2008:
Fake it till you make it means faking that internal confidence as well as the external behavior. This is not as hard as it sounds. Every time you feel self-doubt and talk yourself into inaction, yell “Stop!” out loud, and your brain will reboot. You then consciously reframe your thought processes to put the burden of approval seeking on those around you. With good inner game you can say just about any ridiculous routine and the girl will be intrigued.
The most important change in thinking you can make:
You are not there to win over women, they are there to win over you.
Keep saying this over and over until you begin to believe it. You are re-wiring yourself. Don’t worry about the truth or falsity of it. That’s irrelevant.
Of mice and men.

Wife bitched about every one of them, but I just kept plowing… finally changed for good when I told her that I was going on a 4 day mountain bike trip with a mate. She said, “well, I don t know if it’s going to work, the kids have this and that, etc… well if we can make it work, maybe we’ll come also…” I just laughed and said “but you’re not invited.” Tears, the whole 9… and then, she called me an asshole!
That’s when I knew… she calls me an asshole all the time now, and I finally have peace. She’s (mostly) pleasant and asks me for my advice on most decisions. Didn’t think it could ever be done, bc she was a total ball buster, but I’ll be damned… it worked.

a man’s willingness to walk is possibly his greatest strength. it’s the ultimate in outcome independence.

you don’t yell at her. you don’t lose your cool. you just calmly say, “maybe you should take a few days and think about whether I’m the right guy for you.”
this usually does the trick. I had my pops say this to my very difficult mom and they’ve been married for many decades. it changed their relationship, for the better.. and probably added a decade onto my pop’s life.
it helps if you have game and keep a couple in the hopper, so you won’t suffer for company if she actually takes you up on the offer.

The simplest alpha-pill: Take the attitude that just as it is every woman’s prerogative to select which genes will make it into the next generation *via her body*, it is your prerogative to present yourself for evaluation, as a source of genetic material for her children, to women you find attractive — taking no rejection personally. It is, after all, her prerogative to accept or reject. You did her a favor by approaching her and she did you a favor by rejecting you so you don’t waste your time — or… alternatively…
Now, having said that, it is also your prerogative to select which genes will _not_ make it into the next generation by challenging other males to natural duel — but the government has arrogated that prerogative to itself on behalf of civilization. This confuses the Hell out of women (and less so, men who _get_ the fact that the government is a surrogate alpha).

From the article:
“The brain region, called the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), was already known to light up during social interactions involving decisions about whether to be assertive or submissive with others.”
Its been noted elsewhere that women find men with high foreheads attractive. This study is the nail in the coffin of the theory of Alpha narcissism. The FC cortex is also known as the seat of civilization. Narcissism is a mimic of dominance, and it probably comes from the interplay between the ACC and dmPFC. Women are actually sexually selecting for men that probably have faulty wireing. Dominance is subtle. It also means that Alphas are most likely only viewed as ruthless in our modern environment because they are surrounded by beta males (inverted narc) who think to win one has to assert “dominance” i.e. be an asshole.
Alphas only assert this type of dominance when the betas have made it impossible to operate any other way. Usually the Alphas true dominance display is based in reality, whereas the betas is based on a malaligned threat response (i.e. higher cortisol from status anxiety), and an inability to know when NOT to run game.
Alphas high testoserone has them acting honorably across domains, but the betas are being cheap all the time. So the Alphas have to adapt to win in the modern environment. This is probably why they are stressed all the time.
When you are not surrounded by men whose biology doesnt allow for high status behaviors naturally itll cause someone to go insane or act like an evil chimp. Watch how two Alphas or Sigmas interact. They are deeply attuned to social reality, but understand that they can both play in the sandbox together. Theres a competitive cooperation.

We’ve actually had term limits at the state level in Arizona since 1992. Paradoxically, it just makes special interests stronger because all the institutional knowledge passes to the lobbyists. (I know whereof I speak regarding the political scene here because I’m a life member of Arizona’s most powerful state-level pro-2A lobby and am involved in activism.)
The best way to break the back of the special interests, at the federal level at least, is to repeal the 17th. I don’t know a good way to do that at the state level; probably it would be appointment of state senators by some local legislative bodies.

On a tangentially related note…
During the Joo York Times interview w/ DJT from yesterday, there’s a brief interruption when Ivanka appears at the door with her daughter Arabella. Trump has the tot say a couple of phrases in Chinese to the amusement of everyone there:
KUSHNER: Wo ai ni, Grandpa.
BAKER: That’s great.
TRUMP: She’s unbelievable, huh?
[crosstalk]
TRUMP: Good, smart genes.
[laughter]
No doubt this will be problematic to triggered sh!tlibs as once again The Donald casually refers to the significant role of genetics in intelligence, personality and behavior. A welcome dose of realtalk yet at the same time a disturbing reminder of how far down the SJW rabbit-hole our society has gone that such universal truths are considered verboten by many.

“Meth?… ephedrine… Cocaine?”
Dude, instead of poisoning your body and k!lling yourself in the process, how about if you head in the opposite direction and start with GETTING A REALLY GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP?

My curiosity was related to the experiment in the article in which mice were (presumably chemically) altered and immediately began to exhibit behaviors which increased their social status, and whether that has not already been replicated by people using drugs, otc supplements, or (in another comment) steroids.
The answer seems to be yes, with the caveat that it is not recommended. I am not considering drugs or steroids to improve my game, I was merely curious.

I did coke for about one a d a half years starting when I turned 18. In that time my game has improved enormously, but to say coke is responsible for that is probably untrue. It does have the effect of turning you into a bit of a sociopath where you become very incompassionate and uncaring, and that def helps game, and this isn’t an effect that only lasts while your high, it transforms your personality permanently.
That being said the cons are def not worth it. I’ve had like 3-4 near death experiences and if I were to do any now it would give me terrible anxiety and paranoia.

Of course, the flip side is that you can’t fast forever – fasting starts to make you really nervous & flighty [& eventually panicky] about getting some calories back in your stomach, and if your pancreas ain’t in tip-top shape, then fasting can lead to hypoglycemia* which can cause you to faint.
Everything in moderation. Even fasting.

Yeah, start fasting circa Thursday, in anticipation of slaying teh p00ntang circa Friday/Saturday [or whatever best fits your schedule].
But don’t try it all week long. You’ll be walking down the sidewalk one day and suddenly faint and collapse from hypoglycemia.

Lesson from this: social hierarchy is ancient, way older than the human race (although it may be modified by the neocortex of course). What works for mice, works for humans.
Also, has anyone else noticed that CEOs tend to have a certain look? They look like MMA fighters, but more gracile/intelligent. So, big cheekbones and chins, but more forehead and more social eyes also. (With exceptions, typically in tech).

Supposedly there have been a few studies that show probiotics, macrobiotics or whatever in yogurt, pickles etc…..can have a similar reaction to mice.
Amp up the drive to survive.
Yogurt has had some studies that show it brings down depression, makes you slimmer and grow larger testicles.
Interestingly enough; Mice who were raised in clinical bacteria free environments have more “autistic” characteristics.
So the closet thing to an “Alpha-Pill” in the real world might simply be Yogurt.
Some people throw out; lots of women eat yogurt guy.
Noticed how masculine women have gotten lately? Might be a connection.

gotta be careful about eating the right kind of yogurt though. most of it has so much sugar in it that it basically cancels out any probiotic benefit you might have gotten from it. and the sugar is hell on the body as we all know.
if you’re going to eat it, you have to stick to unsweetened and full fat. none of that lowfat garbage because it has fillers and chemicals in it to add back texture.
but better than yogurt is eating pickles like you said. have to make sure they are fermented not just made with vinegar though or you wont’ get any benefits from them. homemade sauerkraut and kimchi are great too.
and if you get a girl like mine, she’ll be happy to make all that stuff for you too
