'''Physiognomy''' is the former art and now science of deducing the predominant temper and other characteristic qualities of the mind from the outward appearance, especially from the features of the face.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0304418188900024</ref>Before modern technology this was considered a form of pseudoscience, although now physiognomy has become a proven science. Especially in the field of psychology, and by programmers utilizing machine learning based facial recognition software, which purports to profile individual's behavioral tendencies via facial analysis.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/07/artificial-intelligence-can-tell-your-sexuality-politics-surveillance-paul-lewis</ref> | '''Physiognomy''' is the former art and now science of deducing the predominant temper and other characteristic qualities of the mind from the outward appearance, especially from the features of the face.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0304418188900024</ref>Before modern technology, this was considered a form of pseudoscience, although now physiognomy has become a proven science.

Generally people are treated based on how they look, and thus people learn to behave like how they look, creating a feedback loop. This is especially true for people with exotic looks. For example, Anton Lavey founder of the Satanic Church, always had an extremely evil, unconventionally attractive looking face. Anton (real name Howard) was always treated as being a literal handsome devil. Anton enjoyed this treatment and decided to mold his personality to his looks.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_LaVey</ref> Still others may not be so accepting of how people treat them based on facial features. For example, a [[Pretty Boy|pretty boy]] may not enjoy being treated as a pretty boy and become more muscular in an attempt to be treated or seen as [[gigachad]]. | Generally people are treated based on how they look, and thus people learn to behave like how they look, creating a feedback loop.
