Hypothesis A:
- his name is J. Random Error
Hypothesis B:
- he’s real, has a brain anomaly, and is taking androgen antagonists (e.g. 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s not testosterone which has most biological effect, but dihydrotestosterone. T is just the guidance signal from the brain. DHT does the heavy lifting in tissue. If you don’t want to operate on the brain, you can block the result and leave the guidance signal going wrong.
Definitely transmasc lol.
Nah the transmascs and trans men know better. When your T is that high, your body converts some of the extra into estrogen via aromatization.
Oh, fair. Didn’t know that, just knew for transfem a higher estrogen level than cis can be normal (especially monotherapy).
i started balding at 20 so it could very well be me
You’re halfway there, you just need to get smarter now!
i don’t think i could possibly be smarter than i already am.
…the scale goes 0-100, right

WHAT’S UP BITCHES!
Never show your R^2
Man i hate confirming these kinds of biases. I wish this plot werent true, but it makes so much sense.
Well, it’s also important to note that the variability is high so the prediction for a single individual won’t be of much use
I wish this plot werent true
That’s an easy wish! Last time I saw this plot people were saying that this kind of data doesn’t even exist in the mentioned source (that and IQ is kind of bogus, but y’know)
The R^2 is trash, this is just a very squished cloud
It’s Add Health, so it’s not even the R2 that’s the problem but the fact it’s probably got a ton of covariates not included in the model. Lots of contextual variables not in that set drive me nuts, although I’m not even sure if 5th wave exists or has testosterone data lol (haven’t used it in years)
Smartest, manliest human?
It’s clearly about me. Life still sucks. My gigantic penis just gets in the way and people don’t like nerds 🤡
Styropyro?
Lmao I’m happy this has so many likes, I was thinking the same thing. Hope he’s doing well
Yes he is, he has aquired 300 additional car batteries btw
Bro, after that first car battery video, I’m wondering how he’s going to deal with the magnetism problem.
It would have been likely even before the news…

What a genuine dude.
Is that the YouTube that couldn’t grow a beard even though he was in his thirties so he had this hormone levels checked and his testosterone was through the roof?
Jep. Pretty sure that’s the one. Don’t think he ever got into what his specific ailment was though. And he hasn’t been all that active lately as far as I remember.
I think in one of the lastest videos he had said he was running around various doctors and would have to keep searching, maybe we’ll get an update by the end of the year😅
PS. So cool that Styropyro was my thought too, lol
When I was at OpenSauce last summer, someone asked him about it. I kinda forgot the answer but iirc he said he found a doctor that was helpful and it wasn’t causing him any medical issues
He just put out a “I bought a ton of car battery” video the other week.
Oh cool. I haven’t seen that.
Jesus Christ he’s in his 30s?
Well, I can’t answer that, now can I? There was a YouTube like I described but I don’t remember his name.
Someone else linked the video below.
That’s because he needs to look at free testosterone, not total testosterone. Bound testosterone cannot be readily used by the body and is not an accurate reflection of one’s sexual health.
So yeah, his T serum can be above 1,000 ng/dL and he could be a babyface.
Most notorious reason for low free testosterone is lack of sleep, which can also be indicated by high reverse t3.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
It’s in the video, somebody linked it. He has testosterone over 1,500 and super high SHBG. He’s 31 and has never really grown a beard so it’s probably always been high. If it’s cancer then it’s a very slow one. Probably just a genetic variation that produces high SHBG and the body produces more testosterone to compensate. Hard to predict what kind of problems it might give him down the road since it’s probably rare.
Oh, to have both the realization that everybody is a complete moron, and the urge to punch them because of it…
How does this lead you there? IQ 100 is already the average by definition, so no matter how moronic people are as a whole this chart will look the same
Hum… Have you missed the entire OP’s joke?
Oh were you commenting from Gigachad’s perspective? I did miss that
Yeah I saw this and all I could think was “Mad! The guy is going to be mad about all of the stupid while also knowing he can’t use his fists to make it (actually) better”. A constant cycle of never having all of the solutions or a way to feel better.
Dolph Lundgren.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question ‘What is his life like?’
He dated Grace Jones
She ran through him like a (very very very) hot knife through butter
He was my second thought but I don’t know much of his academia/ethics beyond a cursory glance at Wikipedia.
Testosterone Georg, who live in a library and dopes up on T is an outlier and should not have been counted.
lol, Spiders Georg was my first thought as soon as I saw the graph
thats blatant discrimination against outliers, I vote the line be tweaked into a third order polynomial that fits the highest points to better fit the data.
Excel curve fitting to the rescue!
Apparently Plato got his name because his chest was like plate armor.
The Ancient Greeks believed that you had to exercise the body and mind so that checks out
