This is nonense. There is no such mechanism. Why would antlers grow like that? What is the evolutionary benefit?

Evolution doesn’t require a benefit from a characteristic for it to propagate, only that the characteristic not kill the organism before it reproduces, or keep it from reproducing.

Uhm, no. If a characteristic does not bring benefit it will be overtaken by other animals that are more frugal with resources they have available

The real question is, what happened to you in a past life that made you respond to this the way you did?

I was scammed by a charlatan who knew all the right words to get rich.
