Physiognomy

I don't believe in physiognomy, though by instinct, one finds that there is great correlation between /certain looks/ and /certain ideologies/ but by large, the theory is inapplicable.
I am more concerned with a sub-case, a /certain subset/ of men -- fat, bald, bearded, let-themselves-go, estrogenated -- that forms by far, the category of the most soy-est, castrated individuals -- regardless of political ideologies.

Interesting that you talk about it, It was an interest of mine. At one point you could use AI to reliable predict a persons personality, just by submitting an image of that persons face. However, (((they've))) improved the censorship, and it doesn't let you do that anymore. I had a theory (which I discussed a few months ago) related to the whole Ghiblification trend. I believe the ghibli trend was artificially shilled to obtain massive amounts of images of faces as well as the associated chats. This is essentially a database, tying facial features to personality (interpreted via chat history). The goal, was to be able to reverse engineer an individuals face purely by their text (personality). You might be interested in this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ProsopaInsights

I do believe physiognomy is a post-hoc rationalisation. Most people's faces are because of their personality(P --> F) and their personality isn't because of their face. If you're a leftoid you'd be more unkempt and strange looking because you see your existence as an act of rebellion.

That would be true were were we talking about stuff like beards, unkemptness, etc. But the science of physiognomy deals with stuff like an individuals facial bone structure; I don’t really see how it can be influenced by a persons behaviour.

I agree that these three specifically are a result of one’s personality, it’s easy to see how they link. But that isn’t physiognomy at all. That’s like saying a person is a smoker by observing the smell, it is a very observable influence and it is obvious that one is a result of the other. Physiognomy on the other hand; It considers stuff which has seemingly no possibility of being the result of a personality; eye shape, face shape, and so on.

interesting, there is something to be said about how studying a system affects it. Economics, or the study of the economy, if we were to apply its principles as say a business owner(en masse), would make it more 'fit' and simultaneously, the model of the economy that we would've produced would be not one belonging to the 'real' economy, the one which we wished to study. The real economy would be changed to be governed by such principles of how it ought to work. This is only an hypothetical, and doesn't happen, economics is an unpredictable science still.
I think associations of behaviour, atleast related to the make-up of once face, its creases and folds and-all, does have with it an evolutionary base. Certain faces are trustworthy and 'better' than others. But we live in a human society free from evolutionary pressures that gave way to such judgements. But on that basis, we will still judge them so. The more we instinctively ill-treat someone on the basis of face, the more they'll be bitter about it, and the more they'll be closer to turn into it. Pressures add up to make diamond out of carbon.

>how studying a system affects it
That's an important consideration, but I don't think that's true for physiognomy; It was never something that was given to masses, as compared to say, astrology. If we take the chinese zodiac, for example there are cases where the effect is very visible; In china, kids born on the dragon year end up having to study harder in the gaokao, due to increased competion because everyone want to have 'dragon' kids. But physiognomy was never integrated into the mainstream, the closest thing I can think of are the "sanpaku eyes". Whereas with physiognomy, it never being a tool of the masses, this sort of bitterness about it and mistreatment shouldn't occur.
>But we live in a human society free from evolutionary pressures that gave way to such judgements. But on that basis, we will still judge them so
Yes, we seemingly are free from these evolutionary pressures. But there is something to be said about the fact that such evolutionary pressures arose in the first place.
