Styropyro?
Is that the YouTuber 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

He’s as smart as Ben Shapiro thinks he is, and as manly as Andrew Tate thinks he is.

Testosterone Georg, who live in a library and dopes up on T is an outlier and should not have been counted.
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.

What must his life be like?
Full of testosterone supplements and cheating.
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.

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 🤡
Never show your R^2
Anyone have a link to the source
Edit: I need this for a argument I’m currently having
I googled but could not find source. I only found more memes based on this graph. Which isn't to say it's fake, could simply be in some research paper hidden away under a paywall. 15k sample is a very big study though.
The graph alone is highly problematic to make any argument though as it doesn't specify other critical axis such as age which would highly change the meaning of this graph. The older you are, T levels fall, but your IQ increases. So age alone can potentially explain the phenomenon we're seeing here.
My attempt to find the graph only resulted in many counter points, however.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9845018/ looked at only young men and women, so the age no longer becomes an issue. But among young men, higher T is advantageous. I can only read the abstract without paying. But does outline three conclusions there.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15878571/ studied only 5 year old children. Which again showed a positive relationship between T and intelligence in boys.
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/030645309190018O this study on "normal" men and women, though not sure how they define normal, showed a negative relationship. But this once again doesn't define age in their study. Which continues with my previous point that simply older men will have lower T but higher IQ.
- Prenatal exposure to higher T also raised intelligence here: https://psychcentral.com/news/2011/03/14/testosterone-hormone-linked-to-higher-iq

Smart Hulk.
There's probably severe health complications with that level of testosterone though.
Oh, to have both the realization that everybody is a complete moron, and the urge to punch them because of it...

So I'm not a data scientist but doesn't this basically say that your testosterone and IQ are pretty independent of each other?
No, the big cloud of data points says they are pretty dependent and the little outlier says outliers can exist.
