Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive.
Robert Sapolsky flipped the script: Give a low-ranking monkey a huge testosterone boost, it doesn’t challenge the alphas. It terrorizes the ones below it.
The hormone doesn’t invent aggression. It exaggerates whatever social pattern already exists. In humans, it can even drive extreme generosity if that’s how you gain status.
The real problem isn’t testosterone. It’s that we reward aggression with status so easily.
What do you think, if society rewarded kindness more, would testosterone make us kinder?
Jordan Peterson dropped some quietly brutal advice:
If people aren’t listening to you, stop talking.
Don’t cast pearls before swine. Pull back, watch what they actually do, and save your words for those who value them. Every time you keep offering yourself to people who reject it, you’re devaluing what you have to say.
Your time and energy are limited. Protecting them isn’t rude, it’s wise.
What’s your take, is pulling back from people who don’t listen one of the best life skills someone can learn?
