In my opinion beauty is only in the eye if the beholder to a point. At some point you have some kind of deviant fetish. There is a formula to beauty. It has a lot to do with symmetry. There are computer programs that can tell you if your face is beautiful or not. Apparently Micheal Ceras face is not all that beautiful. The beauty program said that Chase Crawford has a very beautiful face. I would agree. It is much more beautiful that Micheal Ceras face.
I just found some more stuff to support the fact that humans are devolving due to civilization. Human brains are shrinking. You can google that. The same thing happens with domesticated animals - http://sciencenetlinks.com/science-news/science-updates/domestication-syndrome/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...l-pets-tend-baby-faces-white-patches-fur.html What people are mistaking for intelligence is actually obedience. The domestication of humans that civilization encourages does cause humans to suffer domestication syndrome which is clearly a form of devolution and I think this is why human brains are shrinking. And humans are different to animals in that we are civilized and what that really means is that we are able to overcome our base instincts and that is why we are able to bring about civilization - but civilization means that the attributes that made us attractive and desirable in nature - like the physical attractiveness of the physical alpha male - are now less important as far as attracting a suitable partner to breed with - so females that are naturally designed to seek a partner that will offer security will look for intelligence and wealth rather than the physical attributes that her instincts tell her she wants. Now we humans may be able to overcome and even deny our base instincts - but they are still with us - so females will always still be sexually attracted to the physical alpha male over Bill Gates - no matter how much security Bill Gates is packing. And I really do not think anyone can honestly argue with what I have just said. So if we are honest we can all agree that it is better to look like Tom Brady than it is to look like Bill Gates. It is not enough to just look like Tom Brady and have no wealth or intelligence - but it is also not enough to have wealth and intelligence but look like Bill Gates because you may find a female that will marry you but she will still rather go to bed with Tom Brady than with you - and that is a problem. We should be evolving into perfect overmen - not Bill Gates.
If I cant admit that Chase Crawford is more attractive than Michael Cera then I would not only be dishonest but I would be worried that I might be half gay or something because if I cant admit that a male is handsome then I must not be secure in my sexuality right? But I did have to stop watching the series Spartacus. Way too many penes for my liking. I became concerned that the show was going to make me gay or something. I have never seen a show with so many penes in it in my life.
Consider the semantics agreed upon. Sorry about not reading the whole OP, if there was something else I misconstrued in my summary let me know. You seem a little preoccupied with physical appearance though, do you think intelligence is improving? Most domestic animals have been domesticated for a long time, its hard to do a reliable study on them. There have been studies of lab rats, which in a relatively short time have radically changed. In just a (comparatively) few generations lab rats have become more docile and less intelligent. Scientist have done this mostly unintentionally, the rats that bite them or who otherwise cause trouble are the first to be picked for dissection or other testing that requires killing. It seems that the environment has a lot to do with what kind of intelligence is picked. Civilization is just a human created environment.
