well on the bright side it kinda deconstructs the whole of what helouser calls the "social ladder" and basically relationships in general
a lot of that stuff doesn't feel that interesting or life affirming anymore now that i know looks is responsible for so much of it. its awkward thinking that half of peoples popularity comes from something they are born with, something as minor as the shape of their face and muscle/bone placement. especially considering no one wants to admit looks matter so much and the reason theyre friends with someone is looks, and how people consider better lookers superior overall. parents saying "your kids are so beautiful!" for the family photos and always mentioning looks in general. like i just saw a pic of this girl on facebook and the other person said "glad my beautiful friend got this award" like isnt the pic about the award and not her looks?
iirc its just an indicator of the thing that realy matters, which is a good immune system. easy to forget infectious diseases used to kill soooo many people.
it makes you realize basically all "love" is so f*****g conditional. sh*t is extremely depressing to think about. jesus looks even apply to animals. people say "save the dolphins, dogs, whales" but never "save the platypus, beetle, cockroach, and worm"
this baldness sh*t really makes you completely rethink things.
