@@Twitch_Moderator Given how fecked up wokies have made society I also will take being an ASPD. "Many “alpha” males may have a big ego and narcissistic personality because they have a strong need for power and control. They may also have a need to be seen as successful and important in order to feel good about themselves and gain admiration from others. This type of behavior is often associated with a need for attention and validation, and can be a sign of underlying insecurity." Want an example of a true Alpha male is?

Ha. I got lucky during COVID. People always ask "What do you want for your birthday" and I tell them I want to be left alone. They had a party planned for me, when I specifically told them not to. Thanks to COVID, I got my wish. The world was a more peaceful place and I went to work every day. Roads were not congested. Work was great because being a service based company we had to avoid contact with the customer if possible. Since then they have forgotten to send out the anniversary email that they used to for how many years you have worked for the company, for me only. Either they figured out I don't need it or someone upstairs likes me.
5:00 here is a key. Build a financial status for independence. There was a great movie scene with John Goodman and Mark Wahlberg. Goodman tells Wahlberg to get a financial nest egg. He calls it “f**k you money. Someone wants you to do something or be something. … “f**K you. I learned this painfully. As a newlywed my parents wouldn’t let me borrow $ until my student loan arrived. I had to borrow $ from my in-laws. Embarrassing. However got to know my father in law who was a Sigma and taught me that money concept. Sigma can build on financial independence.
Ex girlfriend was jealous of my cat showing me affection. She said I have to choose between her and my cat. I said to her " I'm not choosing the cat but I am choosing peace, you have 24 hrs to pack your bags and go"
@wutangdunksI see what you mean. A lot of being an Alpha is showmanship and how they stand from the crowd. Sigmas stand out but they definitely don't care as much. It's more substance than showmanship.
We don't seek attention. We cherish our inner peace. ❤️. Coming back from Cirque du Soleil my lady friend asked why am i single? I told her I value companionship. It means more to me to understand who I am rather than chasing love or relationship.
One major thing you failed to mention, even being world class in your field doesn't mean financial success. In fact, being able to care about what's right and wrong usually means your close to broke . I lived that way until I was in my 50's, did pretty much what I wanted when I wanted within financial constraints. It actually alienates many people who say they admire you but actually hate you because they feel tied to a lifestyle they choose not to change. This isn't something made up in response to video, it's more information than most people who self identify as sigma want to know. I think my best line ever at a dinner party 'I have a terrible inferiority complex' Friends wife looked rather pleased with herself until I added 'Yep, everyone is inferior to me' I was laid off a few months later.

I have a few friends, but im not bothered if people don't like me,when i was young i felt it was a dent to haveing an ego now i could not careless take me or you leave me but you won't change me, i need space and lots of it.
Yeah me too. I didn’t realise there was a name for it until recently but I’ve watched a few of these videos now and it basically describes me. In one it said do you feel alone in a group of people and that’s exactly how I feel, I don’t seem to connect with people and that’s how I like it, in fact I can’t get away quick enough, the shit people talk about and the shit people think matters I just can’t relate to so I just can’t stand there and bullshit about it. I’ve been like this ever since I can remember.
I was tired of people telling me I am weird. I've read that line somewhere and now I use it everytime someone call me weird. " Intelligent people look like weird people for dumb people"
I like validation I just don’t need it to know if I’m doing well. I trust my own self evaluation over external validation. Sometimes I feel like I’m alien in a human body because I just don’t get why so many behave or think the way they do.
Some of the things others like or focus on absolutely confuse a sigma. I used to think it was autism, and perhaps sigmas might have some of that too, but here's some that might resonate for you: - Sports - Sure it can be impressive for seeing a particularly well-done play or something, but how you can care about one team vs another when the only defining characteristic is where they are "from", and as for "from" so many people live/move/trade places even that is nonsense. Taking it to the point of endless discussions and such just feels like so much wasted time. - Any social media - The vid mentions this but it is so true, the key here is not only is it terrible for privacy, its a huge time sink - all to please people you don't care about their opinion and reply to things you don't care about, and all of it takes away time and energy from what you do care about - Celebrities - So many of them can be abhorrent like Duck Dynasty, Kardassians or Musk, but so many of the others are fauwned over for what seems like nonsense. Because they bought the latest whatever? Because they can act? Sigmas appreciate the work and success, not following their every move. - You probably have some of your own to list, but this seems to capture the most common ones that cause confusion for sigmas.
People don't have to prove themselves to anyone or listen to anything. Although it's Sad, majority of people cannot get around the need to seek validation.
I can’t tell you how enjoyable a drive that lasts a few hours is to head up north to go fishing or boating is. Long trips in the winter to go snowboarding is also the best. I’ve never felt alone lol so peaceful
We don't want to be a slaves to manipulations of selfish and narcissistic people. Celebrity, fashion and uneducated opinions are the core of what we avoid.

I always thought my husband just really didn’t seem to care about things that I did. He is definitely a sigma male and this describes him perfectly. It appears he just doesn’t care about so many things, but in retrospect he does but he takes care of himself first and doesn’t get involved with all of the minutia.
I've finally found out what type I am. Leaving behind an assured financial life and an exciting job (ex Pilot) in pursuit of my own inner personal growth.
With dogs around me, I am not lonely, I do not feel vulnerable. I am dependent on human society, but welcome freedom from human company for days on end. I do not hate you.
I had no idea I was a sigma male, now it seems I do, watching this video was a bit like looking in a mirror. Yep, that's me all right. The only slightly grey area is with people -pleasing and that's only in a work environment. It's hard to get through life without a bit of compromise here and there. But while I have tons of empathy I do tend to avoid anyone not on the same frequency, who needs pointless small talk?!
Don't do drama, don't care about trends, not a ladder climber socially or at work, don't conform to social pressures, prefer my own company, enjoy being independent. Guess I'm a Sigma, but I'm sure many would say A-Hole. Either way... I am who I am!
When you seek validation from others, you invalidate yourself.. don't give other people the power, they don't deserve.. do your own thing , it's your life, live it YOUR Way..
the only thing is i like to make people laugh, but i dont know if its "always needing to be the center of attention" i dont need the attention. my jokes do. if that makes sense i want people to laugh. not praise me for being funny.
Ironically my "Sigma phase" started even before 25.. and I say "phase" because now that I'm 40 I feel like making up for the lost time I wasted being a so called Sigma..
@@horatiohornbie7395 If we are lucky and smart, time allows us to see patterns that repeat every so often. For an observant man, the future loses its mystery, as more and more, we see what’s coming. Women may seem tempting until they say things we’ve heard before and at a moment, we recall what pain and trouble the last woman who said that did. By now, at 64, the pattern I have seen most is that I have been happiest on my own, alone. Call it wisdom or just common sense, my own history steers me out and away.
Being a "sigma" does not mean being alone! Or a loner! I'm a 63 year old man with a young, beautiful wife and a 9 year old daughter (retired, $7 figures) The two most important people in my life "let me be me" because they know that keeps me sane and makes me happy. The narrator hit on the most important facet of being a sigma - CHOICE, your own CHOICE!. I choose to share - ON MY TERMS, and my family knows I will make the correct choice, maybe not the popular choice, or expected choice, but the choice that everyone can live with - at least, everyone that matters.
Interesting, I didn't know that term "Sigma" before, but it fits to me. For me the main problem in our world is that what I call "the lives of the others" Nearly 90% of all people I know live not their own life. They obsess by living a live what they think please others but betraying them self and this is one of the main roots of our problems. Also, the power of making your own dreams and wishes is lost.
Sigma Empath is an ambivert (but the "part" of Sigma often speaks up; parties are ok, but rare, and meetings in silence /nature- Emapth). Strange creature...
I count my self as a sigma, but i do not agree that we thrives on mystery. We might be seen as a mystery by many, but that is not our goal or something we neither thrives with or care about, its just a result because so few understand our ways.
I disagree, because I had never heard about Sigma males until a few years ago. Now I know what I am, and my wife and family understand me possibly for the first time.
I've just learned about the existence of such type from this video. Perhaps, it's just one more "horoscope-style" description that can fit to almost anybody who is self-sentered and rather introverted? All of these traits look familiar for me.
When I was a lot younger some guys had to show who was coolest while other guys looked for who to follow. I just talked to the ladies bored by all that drama. I had it good and didn’t even know it. 😂
The fact that l'm a man of principles and l don't stray from that often makes the sheeple think that l am stubborn or childish, anyone else here experience that?
I've never understood the need for constant validation because that tells me those who do are inherently insecure, AND, are waving a flag telling the world.
I identify to all five but I have another one that everyone I know cares about. I do not chase money. I have enough money to pay my bills and have a few nice things. I don't need anymore than that. I'm not greedy at all. I put my time into other things to develop myself personally.
I want someone to share my life and my time with, but people seem to always pose themselves ad an enemy to that idea. I'm called weird and worse names and lables whenever I present myself to them,so I just refuse to experience that hurt and rejection again, and I search within to gain that love of friendship since the world outside refuses to offer that kind of friendship to me.

It's not that we don't care about validation we just find it appalling. People use validation to try to manipulate you in one way or another. It is an insult really. Like we're too stupid to figure out what you're up to.
Wow, if this is what we now call "sigma," it’s a stark reflection of how far we’ve fallen. Just 30 or 40 years ago, this was simply considered being a decent man. As a society, we've clearly regressed. Men, strive to at least match the standards set by your ancestors-those who boarded wooden ships, risking everything, including the separation from their families, to cross treacherous seas in pursuit of a new life. They faced relentless storms, deadly diseases, and untamed wilderness. That’s the legacy we should honor and strive for, not diminish. They had it much harder than you've got. Peaceful times is no excuse to let yourselves go like that and lose your sense of manhood.
My main observation is people don't know how to take you as you're not what they expect. Half think I'm stupid, the other half think I'm hyper intelligent. Fact is I'm neither, I just don't operate like normal.

Al these points are correct, but here is some clarification 1) "Constant" validation, Sigma's do not need validation to know they are right, and can get frustrated if those around them cannot think outside the box, which sigma's do very well.
2)Not following trends, is not the same as not following innovations, if the "new" way is better a sigma will adopt it, they are not slaves to tradition, but will not give up a better way of doing something for something that is just "new" it has to have a merit.
3) Climbing social ladder, this really is the core of what makes a Sigma a Sigma, Sigma's have every capacity to lead but prefer not to be leaders because that limits their freedom, sigma's do not need or require an "alpha" to go on about their life, but have no problem following the lead of an alpha (if they can trust their judgment and they trust the sigma's), this is where many that self identify as sigma's are not actually sigma, individuals that are rebels anti social, introverted etc. are NOT sigma's per se' . same can be said by the majority of men that identify as "alphas" so many fake alphas out there, a real alpha male is not a tyrant or bully, he is not a womanizer just to be one and prove a point. a real alpha earns the trust of other by being a good leader, confident but not arrogant, confidant because of experience and knowledge, an alpha knows the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the group he/she leads and gets everyone to work together. in the real world, true alphas are just as rare as true sigma being a beta is not a bad thing it is not a weakness there are more beta than any other group because they are useful in society, an alpha not given the position to lead can be very frustrating and is in constant threat to be replaced by other alpha. a sigma is often in conflict with alpha's and vice versa, because if the sigma is smarter then the alpha may see them as a threat or wrongly assume the sigma wants to lead. (they do not) also the alpha knows that a sigma volunteers to follow their lead but does not need to.
alphas are usually traditionalist and need order to lead a group, sigma as mentioned in point #2 do not follow trends and often think outside the box and have no problem changing direction that is a problem when dealing with large groups that have a habit doing something the same way. hence one of the conflicts a sigma may face in the real world.
4)"Over" sharing their life, sigma do not need validation but will often share life experiences in a way to convey the reasoning behind an idea or reason for doing something a certain way. privacy is important to a sigma, but they are not anti social, as mentioned in a video quality over quantity when it comes to people they trust or socialize with.
5)Sigma know they won't be able to please everyone, again they do not need followers. they live by the rule "Lead, follow or get out of the way" if you suck as a leader they won't follow, if you are not smart enough to listen to them, they won't waste their time with you, and the rest are just obstacles.
I believe this is why I became an Industrial Engineer. I always said that is what I was born to do. (retired)
tldr
Ditto here... In times that the Media is programming everyone...we don't buy the BS. Common sense always works.
I feel blessed to be a Sigma.
You like being 17 positions down the chai. From an alpha? And 16 positions down the chain from a beta? Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. 👍
@@Twitch_Moderator Given how fecked up wokies have made society I also will take being an ASPD. "Many “alpha” males may have a big ego and narcissistic personality because they have a strong need for power and control. They may also have a need to be seen as successful and important in order to feel good about themselves and gain admiration from others. This type of behavior is often associated with a need for attention and validation, and can be a sign of underlying insecurity."
Want an example of a true Alpha male is? Charlie Allnut In African Queen - petrified of leeches but gets back in the water with them when it's the only way forward. ruclips.net/video/kPsvsZNjNb0/видео.html 22:45 mark
Ha. I got lucky during COVID. People always ask "What do you want for your birthday" and I tell them I want to be left alone. They had a party planned for me, when I specifically told them not to. Thanks to COVID, I got my wish. The world was a more peaceful place and I went to work every day. Roads were not congested. Work was great because being a service based company we had to avoid contact with the customer if possible. Since then they have forgotten to send out the anniversary email that they used to for how many years you have worked for the company, for me only. Either they figured out I don't need it or someone upstairs likes me.
I am a sigma female and it’s the same as it is for the males.
No, its not. Nobody will report you to HR for "being creepy and NOT talking to you"
No woman deals with what a man does. Stop it

5:00 here is a key. Build a financial status for independence. There was a great movie scene with John Goodman and Mark Wahlberg. Goodman tells Wahlberg to get a financial nest egg. He calls it “f**k you money. Someone wants you to do something or be something. … “f**K you. I learned this painfully. As a newlywed my parents wouldn’t let me borrow $ until my student loan arrived. I had to borrow $ from my in-laws. Embarrassing. However got to know my father in law who was a Sigma and taught me that money concept. Sigma can build on financial independence.
Very well explained. Thanks! 👍
Ex girlfriend was jealous of my cat showing me affection.
She said I have to choose between her and my cat.

When you stop trying to impress people ... people are impressed. ❤
People get frenzied into making things so important. Like or dislike something because you decide. Too many peeps are influenced.
I've never owned a cellphone... and never plan to as well. Many find this odd. It keeps me balanced I believe.
Sigmas are truly superior.
True
*Yes, We are.*
@wutangdunksI see what you mean. A lot of being an Alpha is showmanship and how they stand from the crowd. Sigmas stand out but they definitely don't care as much. It's more substance than showmanship.
We don't seek attention. We cherish our inner peace. ❤️. Coming back from Cirque du Soleil my lady friend asked why am i single? I told her I value companionship. It means more to me to understand who I am rather than chasing love or relationship.
One major thing you failed to mention, even being world class in your field doesn't mean financial success.
In fact, being able to care about what's right and wrong usually means your close to broke .
I lived that way until I was in my 50's, did pretty much what I wanted when I wanted within financial constraints.
It actually alienates many people who say they admire you but actually hate you because they feel tied to a lifestyle they choose not to change.
This isn't something made up in response to video, it's more information than most people who self identify as sigma want to know.
I think my best line ever at a dinner party
'I have a terrible inferiority complex'
Friends wife looked rather pleased with herself until I added
'Yep, everyone is inferior to me'
I was laid off a few months later.
I never cared what other people think. If you like me for who I am good for you. And if you don't you don't know what you are missing your loss.
sounds more like a narcissist
I used to be a people person, then people ruined it for me.
Here comes all the "sigma" guys that called themselves "alpha" a year ago.
Last week.
And they miss the irony of them posting about it here in them seeking validation. 🤣🤣
*Alpha is 1st place. The best.*
*Sigma is 18th place. Almost omega (the end) of the Greek alphabet. Either people are HORRIBLE at math or HORRIBLE at the basic alphabet. Either way, what an absolute joke! LoL!!* 🤣
I have a few friends, but im not bothered if people don't like me,when i was young i felt it was a dent to haveing an ego now i could not careless take me or you leave me but you won't change me, i need space and lots of it.
I’m a Sigma man and I didn’t know it. I always was the “different” one.
Yeah me too. I didn’t realise there was a name for it until recently but I’ve watched a few of these videos now and it basically describes me. In one it said do you feel alone in a group of people and that’s exactly how I feel, I don’t seem to connect with people and that’s how I like it, in fact I can’t get away quick enough, the shit people talk about and the shit people think matters I just can’t relate to so I just can’t stand there and bullshit about it. I’ve been like this ever since I can remember.
I was tired of people telling me I am weird. I've read that line somewhere and now I use it everytime someone call me weird. " Intelligent people look like weird people for dumb people"
Me too , I always thought of myself as a “ misfit”. But , I have to say that some of these points are spot on.
I like validation I just don’t need it to know if I’m doing well. I trust my own self evaluation over external validation. Sometimes I feel like I’m alien in a human body because I just don’t get why so many behave or think the way they do.
Some of the things others like or focus on absolutely confuse a sigma. I used to think it was autism, and perhaps sigmas might have some of that too, but here's some that might resonate for you:
- Sports - Sure it can be impressive for seeing a particularly well-done play or something, but how you can care about one team vs another when the only defining characteristic is where they are "from", and as for "from" so many people live/move/trade places even that is nonsense. Taking it to the point of endless discussions and such just feels like so much wasted time.
- Any social media - The vid mentions this but it is so true, the key here is not only is it terrible for privacy, its a huge time sink - all to please people you don't care about their opinion and reply to things you don't care about, and all of it takes away time and energy from what you do care about
- Celebrities - So many of them can be abhorrent like Duck Dynasty, Kardassians or Musk, but so many of the others are fauwned over for what seems like nonsense. Because they bought the latest whatever? Because they can act? Sigmas appreciate the work and success, not following their every move.
- You probably have some of your own to list, but this seems to capture the most common ones that cause confusion for sigmas.
People don't have to prove themselves to anyone or listen to anything. Although it's Sad, majority of people cannot get around the need to seek validation.
I can’t tell you how enjoyable a drive that lasts a few hours is to head up north to go fishing or boating is. Long trips in the winter to go snowboarding is also the best. I’ve never felt alone lol so peaceful
We don't want to be a slaves to manipulations of selfish and narcissistic people.
Celebrity, fashion and uneducated opinions are the core of what we avoid.
Definitely uneducated opinions.
For many years people I encountered judged me as an arrogant a$$. I finally decided to simply let them know, I'm a sigma, and I do not march to your drum. Nuff Said
I always thought my husband just really didn’t seem to care about things that I did. He is definitely a sigma male and this describes him perfectly. It appears he just doesn’t care about so many things, but in retrospect he does but he takes care of himself first and doesn’t get involved with all of the minutia.
I've finally found out what type I am. Leaving behind an assured financial life and an exciting job (ex Pilot) in pursuit of my own inner personal growth.
With dogs around me, I am not lonely, I do not feel vulnerable. I am dependent on human society, but welcome freedom from human company for days on end. I do not hate you.
Back in the days this kind of behavior and attitude was called "being normal".
I am 75yo and nobody has ever called me normal. If they did I would not like it at all. I don't live to be the normal.
Self reliant and loving being alone without being lonely. That's me in a sentence.
I had no idea I was a sigma male, now it seems I do, watching this video was a bit like looking in a mirror. Yep, that's me all right.
The only slightly grey area is with people -pleasing and that's only in a work environment. It's hard to get through life without a bit of compromise here and there.
But while I have tons of empathy I do tend to avoid anyone not on the same frequency, who needs pointless small talk?!
Don't do drama, don't care about trends, not a ladder climber socially or at work, don't conform to social pressures, prefer my own company, enjoy being independent.
Guess I'm a Sigma, but I'm sure many would say A-Hole. Either way... I am who I am!
When you seek validation from others, you invalidate yourself.. don't give other people the power, they don't deserve.. do your own thing , it's your life, live it YOUR Way..
I rather stay at home on a Friday (since I was a teenager) than being on a club talking to meaningless people.
I told my kids I'm pretty sigma.....now they don't use the word anymore.
The sigma winning just doesn't stop
I've learned that I can't find real true friendship in a fake society
the only thing is i like to make people laugh, but i dont know if its "always needing to be the center of attention"
i dont need the attention. my jokes do. if that makes sense
i want people to laugh. not praise me for being funny.
So.... every dude over 45?
Ironically my "Sigma phase" started even before 25.. and I say "phase" because now that I'm 40 I feel like making up for the lost time I wasted being a so called Sigma..
I was about to say the same thing.
Not every dude. Have you seen some of the men the democrats have on their side wearing dresses, makeup, thinking they are women… predators. Not sigma
@@horatiohornbie7395 If we are lucky and smart, time allows us to see patterns that repeat every so often. For an observant man, the future loses its mystery, as more and more, we see what’s coming. Women may seem tempting until they say things we’ve heard before and at a moment, we recall what pain and trouble the last woman who said that did.
By now, at 64, the pattern I have seen most is that I have been happiest on my own, alone. Call it wisdom or just common sense, my own history steers me out and away.
Being a "sigma" does not mean being alone! Or a loner! I'm a 63 year old man with a young, beautiful wife and a 9 year old daughter (retired, $7 figures) The two most important people in my life "let me be me" because they know that keeps me sane and makes me happy. The narrator hit on the most important facet of being a sigma - CHOICE, your own CHOICE!. I choose to share - ON MY TERMS, and my family knows I will make the correct choice, maybe not the popular choice, or expected choice, but the choice that everyone can live with - at least, everyone that matters.
Interesting, I didn't know that term "Sigma" before, but it fits to me. For me the main problem in our world is that what I call "the lives of the others" Nearly 90% of all people I know live not their own life. They obsess by living a live what they think please others but betraying them self and this is one of the main roots of our problems. Also, the power of making your own dreams and wishes is lost.
Sigma Empath is an ambivert (but the "part" of Sigma often speaks up; parties are ok, but rare, and meetings in silence /nature- Emapth).
Strange creature...
We are walking contradictions 💪
I count my self as a sigma, but i do not agree that we thrives on mystery.
We might be seen as a mystery by many, but that is not our goal or something we neither thrives with or care about, its just a result because so few understand our ways.
If you're lonely you're not a sigma
Not true
@@deano91062well come on champ and explain why you think that

A sigma wouldn’t watch this video to find out what Sigmas do.
I disagree, because I had never heard about Sigma males until a few years ago. Now I know what I am, and my wife and family understand me possibly for the first time.
I watch it just to remind me I am who I am 💯
I've just learned about the existence of such type from this video. Perhaps, it's just one more "horoscope-style" description that can fit to almost anybody who is self-sentered and rather introverted? All of these traits look familiar for me.
I don't even care about sigmas too

@@RobertMackenzie-h2u you said something but i don't hear stupid and i can't read stupid
Lol.
Yeah I don't think there's a hard "type", but rather various amounts of differing traits that people possess and exhibit.
When I was a lot younger some guys had to show who was coolest while other guys looked for who to follow. I just talked to the ladies bored by all that drama. I had it good and didn’t even know it. 😂
Thrives on mystery. This stuff is so masterbatory.
The fact that l'm a man of principles and l don't stray from that often makes the sheeple think that l am stubborn or childish, anyone else here experience that?
It takes a lot of effort, but worth it.
Wow thanks, you just described me
I've never understood the need for constant validation because that tells me those who do are inherently insecure, AND, are waving a flag telling the world.
If the Validation is money$, then I pay attention, If not money why would I pay attention??
My tranquility is priceless
Background music is cool, what's the name?
I just noticed I am a sigma male and did not have idea of that! This video just described my personality!
When you don't bs yourself, it becomes expected of others.
Then the 95% let you down and it changes nothing
I'm struggling with this exact scenario
Yes, and that is exactly the percentage I use to describe it, 95% !
I identify to all five but I have another one that everyone I know cares about.
I do not chase money.
I have enough money to pay my bills and have a few nice things. I don't need anymore than that.
I'm not greedy at all.
I put my time into other things to develop myself personally.
I want someone to share my life and my time with, but people seem to always pose themselves ad an enemy to that idea. I'm called weird and worse names and lables whenever I present myself to them,so I just refuse to experience that hurt and rejection again, and I search within to gain that love of friendship since the world outside refuses to offer that kind of friendship to me.

@@IvanMectindo you know what the Coreolis Effect is? I was a Mortarman man and had to use this equation, depending on what part of the earth I was and the direction of fire with the time the round would be in the air... It's the same reason why a sniper needs to know his direction on the Earth. The same reason a rocket seams to start curving when it's truly heading to 1 specific spot in the solar system... But, please, give me a logical answer as to why I'm incorrect. After all, you must have real world experience as to why you think such a thing. Heck, I can go 200 miles away right now and look almost 30 miles across the ocean. If I go 20 feet above sea level (to make sure no waves block my line of sight) why can't I see the base of the land? Why does it work perfectly with the circumference model of the spherical Earth?

Wow, if this is what we now call "sigma," it’s a stark reflection of how far we’ve fallen. Just 30 or 40 years ago, this was simply considered being a decent man. As a society, we've clearly regressed. Men, strive to at least match the standards set by your ancestors-those who boarded wooden ships, risking everything, including the separation from their families, to cross treacherous seas in pursuit of a new life. They faced relentless storms, deadly diseases, and untamed wilderness. That’s the legacy we should honor and strive for, not diminish. They had it much harder than you've got. Peaceful times is no excuse to let yourselves go like that and lose your sense of manhood.
My main observation is people don't know how to take you as you're not what they expect. Half think I'm stupid, the other half think I'm hyper intelligent. Fact is I'm neither, I just don't operate like normal.
I am 75yo and I have found that highly intelligent people accept Sigma people instantly. I think it maybe that Sigma people like to talk about subjects in great depth.
Excellent thank you.
