What about that bloke who started all this stuff about alpha and beta wolves?
Wait, that isn’t true? I never heard about beta wolves, but i learned about alpha wolves in a public school.
Are we talking about the same thing?
Yeah. It turns out that the “Alpha” and “Omega” wolves are just… The parents of the pack. It’s got nothing to do with the Alpha being macho or assertive or anything like how it’s been portrayed for decades.
The researcher who first published his faulty observations has been trying to correct the public consciousness for years, but it’s really hard to undo something that was taught so widely
Okay yeah, that’s about what I remembered. The parents leading and the children leaving when they become adults, thus not endangering the position of the parents.
I guess I just somehow mandela-effected the term “alpha” into there
But funny that wolves have social systems closer to humans than some ape species with their silverbacks.
Oh yeah, we definitely form close knit family and community units with dispersed hierarchy instead of giving all the bananas and power to a small handful of apes who can then impose their will on everyone else…
Here’s a listicle of other inventors who grew to hate or regret their inventions. The creator of Comic Sans is on there, lolz
Anything from the inventor of the AK-47 regretting the deaths good invention caused and how it doesn’t line up with his Orthodox beliefs, to the guy who decided that two slashes should follow an internet protocol saying it wasn’t necessary; what a list!

Well, I have seen 2 Labradoodles from the same nest. Two familymembers decided to take one.
They both bark at every little fucking sound, no matter what you do, they both have random moments where they could start biting you.
One of them is just straight up agressive if a man makes a sudden move and needs to be locked up if I come to do a small job in the house.
They definitely need to be trimmed and their behavior issues are very annoying. So if this guy regrets making Labradoodles? Me too, buddy, I regret you actions too.

Why though? What’s wrong with it?
This is anecdotal, but most every labdoo I’ve met has been absolutely neurotic, though there may be a correlation with off tilt owners as well.
All the energy of the lab with all the problems of a poodle
The guy originally bred them as a hypoallergenic guide dog, and then they exploded in popularity.
The article basically paints the picture that the original guy bred them the right way (I don’t see how), but since then a bunch of unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills have turned two smart, somewhat inherently well behaved, breeds: labs and poodles, to a breed that is more chaotic and dependent (again, I don’t see how that’s any different from what he did or what most dogs are like).
The article isn’t exactly well written or researched. It mostly just quotes him and throws in a couple quotes from Kennel Associations and Facebook pages. Provides no information on where this fits in the wider context of dog breeding.
Honestly, to me it sounds like an uptight dog breeder whose mad that their breed, that is technically a mutt and not recognized as a distinct breed, is the most popular thing they’ll ever do in their life.
What’s wrong with labradoodles?
Mostly the people who own them.

game theory/economic zero sum gaming was the result of a paranoid breakdown.
iow, each for themselves economic policy is not based. these works are still cited in arguments against altruism though.
lmao TIL. makes total sense
John Huffman, the chemist who originally developed the synthetic cannabinoids later found in K2/Spice, has repeatedly warned that these compounds were never meant for recreational use.
I always thought Labradoodles are just a meme Oo
