Domain Query: Risk vs Reward

Today's query comes from LRFotS Randale6, who has a rather interesting and very germane set of questions about the reasons why lower-ranked men in the SSH choose high-probability poor-quality outcomes, over lower-probability (thus riskier) but higher-quality potential outcomes. Here is the question set:

Two questions.

First is why do gammas/deltas pedestalize one woman to the exclusion of all others? As noted in this post on Vox's Sigma Game substack the erstwhile gamma had done quite well for himself. Yet he still fixated on one woman, ignoring what his position would have allowed him to achieve elsewhere (accounting businesses can be rendered remote in 3, 2, 1... presto) in the world.

Second and closely related to the first is... why don't we see more gammas and deltas just hightailing it into their own solo/small scale enterprises? If the hierarchy is just going to shit all over you why bother with it when you can go your own path as many accountants and mechanics do?

The answer has to do with the risk and reward appetites of the various ranks. It should come as absolutely no surprise that the further up the hierarchy you go, the higher your appetite for risk is. As such, lower-ranked males, like Deltas and especially Gammas, are unable to stomach risks, for psychological reasons, and routinely and observably fail to take calculated risks that would actually be highly beneficial for them.

I outline my reasoning and my answers in today's (perhaps mercifully shorter) podcast.

Protect Yourself From Big Tech

I make some pretty incendiary statements in this podcast, and in most of my podcasts. I can only do so because I take steps to protect myself from the Big Tech companies, and preserve my identity. You need to do the same – this is no longer optional, because if you don’t, the gatekeepers WILL come for your head.

If you don’t know where to start, then I’ve got you covered right here with this post. Here are the specific steps that you can take:

• Make sure that your web traffic is safe and protected from prying eyes using a VPN – click here to get a massive 80% OFF on a 24-month subscription with Surfshark;
• Be sure also to check out Incogni, the new data and privacy management tool offered by Surfshark, which simply works behind the scenes to ensure that no malign actors can take advantage of your data ever again;
• Another solid VPN option for you is Atlas VPN, brought to you by the same company that creates NordVPN;
• The best SSD drive that you can get right now, with blazing fast speeds and near-native storage capabilities, is probably the SanDisk Extreme 1TB Portable SSD with NVMe technology – I bought this myself to keep a moving backup of all of my files, it’s the size of a credit card, and it’s absolutely superb;
