Description

Peter Limberg:

"“Broscience” is slang for knowledge claims originating from the bodybuilding community, sharing practical advice not based on scientific consensus. It is usually looked down upon, but the positive framing is that it represents a goal-oriented empiricism grounded in trust networks. A political equivalent has now emerged: bropolitics.

This is where the masculine logic of getting things done predominates over stuffy academic pretentiousness. Signaling that one is a good or smart person is irrelevant; instead, flexing what one can achieve with efficiency is prioritized. The pinnacle of bropolitics, to date, is exemplified by Elon Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."
