Weil dieses Hörbuch aufzeigen wird, warum gerade "Alphas", "Hypermännchen", "echte Männer", die Ursache für das immer wiederkehrende Leid von Völkermorden, Kriegen, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption und Wirtschaftskollapsen sind. Genau diese Vorwürfe lassen sogenannte "Hypermännchen" und kritikunfähige "Alphas" erfahrungsgemäß sofort laut aufheulen und reflexartig um sich beißen.
