He's the definition of a perpetual beta trying to be alpha.
I would love to spar with him in BJJ sometime. After you train for awhile you can lock up with someone and immediately feel who they are. An alpha stays calm and relaxed, never panicking even as they are being put to sleep [1]. He went into BJJ hoping to become alpha and it just highlighted even further he's not.
[1] BTW, this isn't a bullshit masculine/man/woman thing. I roll with plenty of women and many of them are more alpha than many men I know.

- psunavy03 2y agoThere's no better way to torch your credibility than to use the terms "beta" and "alpha" unironically.
- matwood 2y agoThe ironic part is that's what he's probably thinking and chasing (he talked at length recently about bringing 'masculine energy' back to Meta). He's literally one of the most powerful people in the world, but always comes across as wishy washy and unconfident.
