Fisto, I think you and I basically hold the same view on what a meaningful existence means.
Point is, what really matters are your own principles - they never change, not for any one.
Whether you call it alpha or something else strikes me as arbitrary. I even heard one guru call it "omega", an allusion to the ultimate evolution -> ie. the final letter of the greek alphabet (rather than something less than beta).
Which leads me to my quote, which isnt really "alpha" the way I understand it.. more about what it means being human.
"We must never cease from exploring. And the end of all exploring will be when we are to arrive where we started and to truly know that place for the first time"
T.S. Elliot.

Be somebody, or be somebody's fool - Mr. T
I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... rules - Mr. T
I think about my father being called 'boy,' my uncle being called 'boy,' my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called 'boy.' So I questioned myself: 'What does a black man have to do before he's given the respect as a man?' So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody's mouth is 'Mr.' That's a sign of respect that my father didn't get, that my brother didn't get, that my mother didn't get. - Mr. T
I pity the fool! - Mr. T

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
Hunter S. Thompson
"We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness."
— Hunter S. Thompson
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

Mood? What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises — no matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting.
Counsel of Gurney Halleck to young Paul Atreides when he declares he is not in the mood for training.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.
from The Humanity of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
I must rule with eye and claw — as the hawk among lesser birds.
Duke Leto Atreides
A prince being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from snares, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognise snares, and a lion to frighten wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this
-Machiavelli
"No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

- Figuring things out for yourself is practically the only freedom anyone really has nowadays. Use that freedom.
- Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst.
- Force, my friends - is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
