Physiognomy isn't pseudoscience. Truth, good, and beauty converge.

Think about the body positivity stuff and how inverted it is to think that's something to celebrate as beautiful. Like sure you don't have to hate yourself for being overweight, but most people should know where they fit in in the aesthetic hierarchy. So just more egalitarian nonsense attacking another hierarchy that they hate because they're not at the top of it. But when you relativize everything, then everyone is at their own peak. And when you drag enough other people down then no one eclipses anyone else. Very sinister.
