To say the least. This concept of "alpha" humans has no basis in psychology, biology and anthropology.

It implies that humans are evolved to live in a hierarchical and purely competitive society which is known to be false (not only for us but for many mammals). Humans are not insect nor lobsters.

There are various books from prof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sapolsky and youtube videos with good analysis of social behavior in primates including humans.

I don't disagree, but I think the fact that the article has the term in its title is why it made it to the front page of Hacker News.
