Also ich hab da manchmal das Gefühl den gibt’s gar nicht. Und das ist nicht neu, frag gerne auch andere Kolleg*innen öfters mal nach ob sie in den letzten zwei Wochen irgendetwas vom Scholz gehört haben. Meist lautet die Antwort nein.

I wonder why…

The reality is even better:

The wolves in the studies that produced an alpha were in captivity with foreign wolves. Meaning that their natural pack social hierarchies didn't exist. It's only when a bunch of random wolves are captured together that they act like this.

Which actually makes this a much better metaphor for people who identify themselves as "Alphas", feeling trapped, lashing out at your neighbours trying desperately to be the one who comes out on top.
