Envying Caligula

As I've said before, quasi Darwinian ideologies leave the majority of men licking their wounds and wondering what is wrong with them that they cannot be like Caligula, whom they are invited to envy. "If only I was an alpha male and not a beta, my life would then be fulfilled," they tell themselves. Articles like this one not only tap into, but activate male envy, preventing many males from understanding that one of the reasons they are so unhappy is that they are so servile to the modern day Caligulas in all sorts of respects, along with the fact that they have not engaged in any sort of examination of their banal systems of belief.
