It is obviously John Carmack
He’ll blow your back out and cover you with his string theory.
Hulk. Hulk has a PhD in nuclear physics.
might be styropyro who has mentioned a clinical testosterone disorder affecting videos recently
I bet on Dulph Lundgren
Hmmm, I wonder if testosterone keeps people from doing nerd shit like taking tests
Must be him
If you remove the anomaly, which may be due to an accidental additional digit, that correlation coefficient may climb a bit.
IMHO, they plotted an independent variable over random noise. The one gigathad changes nothing.
I think there’s a clear correlation there, but the axes are reversed: testosterone can’t be the dependent variable of IQ score. Reversing the axes makes the gradient look incredibly steep, but that’s only because of the obviously incorrect anomaly. r=0.435 is very much not a strong correlation, but it’s not zero either, especially with a sample size this enormous.
no, IQ can actually drive testosterone levels! it’s a strange feedback loop where social pleasure can cause testosterone production.
What are lifetime natural men?
In this context probably people that did not get testosterone therapy.
Aah, that makes a lot of sense
i assume that it means people who are AMAB and never took sex hormones
data from hormonally transsexual people (most trans men and trans women, and some other transgender people) and from many intersex people (whenever the hormone balance is affected) would have many additional potential factors affecting controllability of variables and reliability
Also nobody who ever took steroids or testosterone supplements.
It’s styropro
That’s Brian May
Henry Rollins
its that guy who took 300 covid vaccines.
That’s styropyro:
He’s one of the smartest youtubers I routinely watch. And yeah, crazy high testosterone, although you might never guess. I generally would assume someone with that much testosterone would have some facial hair.
im guessing he also has some degree of androgen insensitivity. having crazy high testosterone youd expect large muscles, lots of facial hair, male pattern baldness, a low voice, but hes not that big, has at least thin facial hair that he shaves, a full head of hair, and a relatively high voice. idk if any version of androgen insensitivity is associated with very high testosterone levels but i wouldn’t be surprised.
Bro caught that Elon torso syndrome
these are just stereotypes
Type 2 testobetes
Integer overflow.
Dude’s in his 30s but looks and sounds like a guy in his early 20s.
How do you know what his testosterone levels is?
See the first video in the screenshot
im pretty sure thats what the first video in the original comment is about
He has a very uncommon medical condition that he shared with his viewer base a while ago, largely because it had a serious impact on how often he was putting out videos for a while until he got it diagnosed
The lasers keep burning it off
That’s not how testosterone works. It’s not fuel, it’s just a signal. Everyone’s neutral baseline is calibrated differently depending on developmental events mainly in the womb. It’s not about how much absolute testosterone you have in a snapshot, it’s about how much higher or lower you are than your own personal baseline. Your body will tend to maintain near your baseline, which might be much higher or lower than someone else’s baseline, while “meaning” the same thing.
Mostly you’d expect them to be bald
What does it mean if you have high testosterone and a lot of hair on your head? 😅
Might not have the hair for too long. Though you might. Depends on the tolerance for testosterone. Just know that high testosterone and baldness are highly correlated
Iirc, keeping or losing your hair as a guy has to do with DHT receptors in your hair follicles. T doesn’t make your hair fall out, but DHT does, and your body produces more DHT as you get older (hence why finastride works as a hair loss inhibitor - it blocks DHT from the receptors in your hair). But only the hair on the top of your head is sensitive to this, with sensitivity higher in some places than others. Hence, some guys bald on the crown first, while some have a receding hairline first, and some never bald at all.
You could also have a high tolerance for DHT, which is the metabolite of testosterone associated with hair loss.
In general though I think a lot of people focus very hard on the specific hormones, and typically they’ll do what they say on the tin in standard doses. But there are a lot of edge cases. Higher or lower sensitivities, general proclivities, etc.
Before transitioning most people would’ve suspected I had very high T. I had a deep voice at a young age, built muscle fast, full beard as a teenager, the whole shebang minus baldness (but I transitioned young so that could just be time). But nope, my levels were average. I also responded fairly strongly to estrogen.
What’s far more important than your numbers is if you’re getting healthy and acceptable effects from your hormone levels. There’s no need to mess with your levels unless there’s need to mess with your levels.
At that level of androgen, some of the androgen will be transformed into estrogen.

Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.
Poor thing can’t fully close his mouth.
I came to say this! OG madlad.
