Beta is the second letter in the Greek alphabet after alpha. Because of this, beta has been used in a variety of fields to refer to anything secondary. Beta particles (radiation) and a beta test (computing), for example, are the second in a sequence. Like alpha, beta can be used to describe social hierarchies in animals. A beta wolf in a pack, for instance, is said to yield to the stronger, more aggressive alpha—who gets first dibs on food, territory, and mates. Beta was established as an informal term for men seen as passive and weak in the 1990s. In 1999, Naomi Wolf, then an advisor to former Vice President Al Gore, reportedly characterized her boss as a beta male who needed to demonstrate more “top dog” qualities to win the White House. Other notable figures viewed as betas around the time include the character Ross from Friends and Microsoft’s Bill Gates—but hey, would you trade Gates’ success and fortune to be viewed as a Conan the Barbarian? We didn’t think so. Into the 2010s, beta continued to mock men seen as less sexually, socially, and financially successful than their alpha counterparts. But it also took on a more specialized slang sense in the 2010s in the online incel, or involuntary celibate, community, notorious for blaming women and more conventionally masculine men for their sexual failings. On message boards like Reddit, incels try to shame men who support feminism—or really don’t just exert their will over women at all times—as betas. They also sometimes refer to themselves as betas for their lack of sex and romantic relationships, though they pin this on so-called “slutty women who give themselves over to sports-loving bros.” In the later 2010s and boosted by the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump, the alt-right community also started using beta and beta cuck to insult their political enemies. Here, betas are their progressive rivals politically “cuckolded” by feminists, immigrants, or racial minorities.

Is it better to walk faster or longer?

In a new study, which looks at activity tracker data from 78,500 people, walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Many of us regularly wear an activity tracker, which counts the number of steps we take in a day. Based on these numbers, it can be hard to make sense of what they might mean for our overall health. Is it just the overall number of steps in a day that matter, or does exercise intensity, such as going for a brisk walk or jog, make a difference?

In a new study, which looks at activity tracker data from 78,500 people, walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace. These results were recently published in two papers in the journals JAMA Internal Medicine and JAMA Neurology.

9,800 steps a day offered the highest level of protection.

For these studies, which included participants from UK Biobank, participants with an average age of 61 agreed to wear activity trackers for seven full days, including nights, at the beginning of the trial. This study represents the largest one to date that incorporates activity tracker data. “Activity tracker data is going to be better than self-reported data,” said Dr. Michael Fredericson, a sports physician at Stanford University, who was not involved in the study. “We know that people’s ability to self-report is flawed,” often because people don’t accurately remember how much exercise they did in a day or week.
