The Dark Triad and Signaling Victimhood
The dark triad is a set of personality traits that includes narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
These traits tend to go together in the same person and are highly correlated with disagreeableness in the big five personality traits.
Agreeableness is the most correlated trait with the dark triad, meaning that the higher a person is on agreeableness, the lower they tend to score on the dark triad.
People who score high on the dark triad tend to signal victimhood more, which is not necessarily the same thing as actually being a victim.
The researchers in the study found that people who tend to score high on the dark triad personality traits also tend to signal victimhood more.
Experimental Studies
The researchers in the study also did experimental studies to test their findings.
In one study, they rigged a game in which participants could win money but made it easy for them to cheat and figure out who cheated.
They found that people who scored highly on the dark triad personality scale were more likely to cheat to win more money.
In another study, they asked participants to imagine themselves in an employment scenario and found that people who scored highly on the dark triad personality scale were more likely to imagine themselves as victims.

Section 1: Default Positions
For women, the default is to not sleep with a man unless there is an extraordinary reason to do so.
For men, the default is to sleep with a woman unless there is an extraordinary reason not to do so.
These default positions are based on the risk of pregnancy for women and the desire for sex for men.

Gay men have a slight preference for guys with cats.

Research shows that having a master's degree can increase the number of likes on a dating app profile.
Women with a master's degree get around 10 more likes than women with a bachelor's degree.
Getting a master's degree can be a slight advantage for both men and women on dating apps.

Section 2: The Spread of Ideologies
The speaker discusses the idea that certain ideologies, such as woke culture, can spread quickly through a population.
He notes that research has shown that if a small group of people holds an idea very strongly and inflexibly, it can tend to proliferate throughout the rest of the population.
The speaker suggests that this is because the inflexible group is able to exert dominance over the more flexible group.
