There's a pretty interesting book I stumbled upon called "Unnatural Selection" that has some huge RP implications. The basic idea is the genetic traits of geeks and nerds (i.e. beta men) were once bad traits to have, in evolutionary terms, but since the environment has changed so drastically as a result of technological advancement, beta traits are now far more valuable to society as a whole than traditional alpha traits. Hence: "Geeks will inherit the earth."
From reviews of the book: ‘Everyone knows that the kinds of people that would have been rejected as social outcasts in the 1950s — the shy science nerds, the persnickety math geeks, the obsessive recluses who turned their parents’ garages into chemistry labs — have transformed the way we live in the past 20 years, quietly rising to positions of great power in the process. In this provocative book, Mark Roeder explains how they have become a social force driving a new kind of human evolution.’- Steve Silberman, editor, Wired magazine
Let me put it this way, if technology had been a 'thing' in human society for the entire duration of human evolution, men like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates would be sexual icons. Weird thinking about them in that way, right?
The big problem (of course we all know at TRP) is that our biological evolution is not at the same pace as our technological evolution. If it was, women would be attracted to abstract thinkers (like geeks and nerds). Instead, the opposite is true. Women are attracted to traditional alphas, i.e. men who are now at the bottom of the rung (in their capacity to gather resources).
