This one’s from the TJH wine cellar: originally published on my Odysee channel back in January of 2023, where only a few people saw it. It was a very good year.
William Costello is a PHd candidate and Member of Dr. David Buss' Evolutionary Psychology lab at the University of Texas at Austin.
The discussion covers Costello's research on the psychological and social traits of incels, the societal implications of the incel identity, and factors contributing to the rise of the incel subculture. The episode delves into topics like sociosexuality, the socioeconomic status of incels, the impact of online communities, and the role of traditional gender norms. Audience questions touch on issues like the effect of social media, the potential for older mentors to help incels, and the relationship between religiosity and incel identity.
Here’s a clip where Costello explains how the trope of the ‘terrorist incel’ is not supported by the evidence.
