The Extreme Male Brain and the Extremist Male Brain.Culta devisa est in partes tres.

 

 Over-correcting self-lefteousness.

 

                   Compensates for empathy deficit  by becoming a social justice warrior.
 

According to the extreme-male brain theory by nature males are in a kind of Yin/Yang manner less easily side tracked by empathy.  When there were fewer than 8 billion of us this was not the inconvenience it has since for some become.

 

Females, by nature designed to nurture, are natural empaths. The three ways to go off the rails as hyper-males are our old friends, the autistics, the narcissists, and the psychopaths. All the antitheses of our female friends.

 

Now imagine a scenario where the Earth has gotten crowded. Say there's a tipping point, maybe as a random amount choose 8 billion.  Beyond which there are fewer wild wests where to seek one's fortune. Not as many "colonies" for the second son to go along and adventure on one's hero's journey amid. Imperialism (and imperiousness) becomes a romantic thing of the past. Living in the now:

 

The hyper-male bumps up in less than fraternal adelphia against one's reflected self in the persons of others hyper-as-well. Having babies necessitates empaths, such as "Mother-things," in the Have Space-suit--Will Travel sense.  

 

Soon the very superfluity of one's counterparts in the aggregate inspires, maybe more easily, doubling down, being more male than thou:  the man-o-sphere. Or more rationally, on second thought, in a winner take all Darwin Economy scenario, compensating.

 

A new cult gains a following. Drawing, paraphrasing Caesar's saying Gallia divisa est in partes tres: 

 

a)  autistics

 

b) narcissists

 

c)  psychopaths 

 

 ... who are drawn like fruit flies to a banana.  Like time flies to an old codger remembering the good old days so ephemeral yet still so vivid within, as if only this morning, remembered more exactly than though.

 

Imagine a cult whose very nature, by its very nature attracted these types in equal or unequal measure.. 

 

And very few others.

 

A few old cranks, Charles Pezeshki, James Howard Kunstler, one of the Misters Yang, all painted as infected with the dread boomer "brain rot" have imagined as much.
