Found about you while on a Wittgenstein marathon. Love both the educational and not educational videos. Keep up the good work

This deserves more attention than it has. Very well made. :)

What I see in the front of my face is what is going on inside my brain because my image processor is behind my eyes

Yep, I'm right about your content. Just have matter that's mater to the people who wants to think about little things like faces. Good one!

Wow, someone who liked my Wittgenstein video and this one. That's a good omen---maybe my audience actually exists somewhere. Thanks for both of your comments. I notice and they do me good.

i like this video and i like this comment section it makes me think of how all these little videos of e girls with perfect faces and eyes looking right at the camera and its powerful enough for people to spend hours mesmerized scrolling not that thats anything new or remarkable. going back to the myth of medusa, this conversation about the danger of staring at a face, and the depth of emotion we read into it in like mona lisa and shit, and how universal those tropes are. its some shit

Dogs, as much as i hate it, indeed have little to do with their appearances (or better said, with how we subjectively perceive their physical aspect). We cannot infer anything about their ''soul'' based on a picture of them! We can only distinguish when they are happy or they suffer based on certain cues, but that's something else (expressivity, not aspect). However, with modern humans there's a different situation. We develop into ''who'' we are (in part) by constantly looking at cultural norms and then at ourselves in the mirror, after which we unconsciously infer what type of person we are. The face does (in part) reflect the soul, because the soul had always looked at itself in the mirror and saw itself as a face. We must understand here the importance or cultural models; there's no face without some evolved biological preferences & cultural preferences. If you had played a ''Truman Show''-like trick on a chubby big-nosed small-legged boy, and raised him in a made up town and given him made up TV shows, movies, music videos and magazines, all having as ''star protagonists'' people with his bodily traits, then he would grow up with a very different mentality (including persona!) than if he otherwise would if he had grown up in our current cultural context. While in that made up town, he would probably perceive the skinny long-legged people as not attractive, not cool, lame, etc. This would likely not work though if he had very pronounced features (deformities), because we're born with some insights for appraising human fitness (health) by the individual's appearance - thus, irrespective of cultural tropes, some features might spark an awkward feeling that ”something's not right”. Anyways, many caveats and qualifications and the discussion would be interminable. But the thing to get out is that our face is indeed part of our soul, impressed on it in the ongoing complex feed-back loops that are taking place between our minds and the environment. Nonetheless, many deranged bastards or bland intellects are hiding behind the most ''beautiful'' faces :)

Haha! Great mate
