Why wouldn't physiognomy be real?

[Celso Bin Portiolli]

Obviously genetic traits are hereditary, so it's only natural certain traits come "bundled in" more often then not, right?
I have yet to meet a person whose demeanour was a complete mismatch to his appearance.

Physiognomy = "ugly people are evil"?

Objectively correct

Spoiler: There is a reason why people associate hooked noses, beady eyes, and weak jaws with deception, con artistry, and backstabbing.

Physiognomy = "ugly people are evil"?

They, and women in particular, are certainly resentful for being ugly and that can manifest in evil behavior.

I'll do you one better and say that people's names are a determining factor in their appearance and therefore their behavior

You could argue correlation: different ethnicitys would be more prone to specific personality traits as part of their culture; and specific phenotypal features due to their location. I'm not sure there is any way you could confidently argue the phenotype as the causation of a trait unless you're referring to the biology of the brain, however that's not a visible physical trait without an MRI.

I often wonder if phrenology was debunked simply because it was seen as racist.

That’s exactly what (((they))) want you to believe. All according to the Protocols of the Elder Clans of Cumbria!

There's plenty of evidence for a small but significant correlation between criminal behavior and physical deformities of the face. There is also evidence for a slight correlation between left-handedness and pedophiles. Obviously this means we must liquidate all uggos and left-handys posthaste. It's the only logical conclusion for us men of science.

Not even ugly people, some people can have attractive features that send a "manipulative" vibe, for example. It's really hard to explain, it's all intuition.

I agree. Some people have names so fucked you can tell something's deeply wrong with their parents, and they have issues because of them.

I always figured that people's mental well being rubs off on their appearance a lot. I mean, your brain is attached to your body after all. It regulates the entire thing's function. It makes sense that an unhealthy brain would have subtle cues that go as deep as someone's physical features.

 

[Soycast Guy]

From a religious perspective, evil people are not only ugly on the inside but also on the outside. It can’t be hidden. That’s unless someone was born with a genuine deformity.
