“Almost every culture has a cognitive bias for the tough guy, the alpha...” — Rick Wilson Quote

Almost every culture has a cognitive bias for the tough guy, the alpha, the winner.

No bully ever turns down a free shot when his posse pins back your arms.

Stay away from national polls. They are always an illusion. They will always trick you into stupid political behavior.

Kasich does two fundamentals in presidential politics wrong; he talks, and he keeps talking.

I'm not afraid of what people say about me. I don't care if people say, 'You're an awful person.'

I've never really identified with the way a typical alpha male views women. It's always an awkward forum for me to hang out with another guy and talk about girls, because I can't really find a way to fit in.

We're trained in school to equate mistakes with bad grades - something to be avoided at all costs. The alpha makers were somehow able to dodge that. They think that mistakes are just part of the creative process and maybe even the best way to learn.

I like Alpha male footballers.

I remember as a young man seeing these bigger-than-life, strong images of black manhood in the form of Jim Brown and Fred Williamson, Jim Kelly, Billy Dee Williams. All these guys were these alpha males who were smart, attractive. I said, 'Wow, I want to be like that.'
