The two images:

Anyone saying that the judge is mogging clav is genuinely wrong.

Clav’s face is ratio-wise superior because his proportions sit much closer to ideal mathematical harmony: his 1.618 face length/width ratio aligns almost perfectly with the golden ratio, his 0.019 in left/right deviation shows extremely low asymmetry, and his facial thirds, eye spacing, nose width, philtrum, jaw, and chin measurements are almost all marked ideal, balanced, or strong, while the other face has more proportional penalties, including a failed forehead/chin ratio, failed chin/mouth ratio, short philtrum, nose mismatch, and greater asymmetry.

Judge, MOGGED.

    All this shit being tied to the “golden ratio” is the prime example of how this neofascist nonsense was cultivated by reddit “i f*cking LoVE SCIENCE!!!” dorks from 2014. Like pick any other pseudoscience bullshit rather than end-of-historying your ponzi scheme worldview.

      The funny thing is that these people are obsessed with every minutia and attempting to distill aesthetics down to a mathematical formula, but can’t be bothered with understanding how cameras work.

      The photos you are sloppily mapping points onto for your esoteric beauty science is based on images and measurements that change wildly depending on what lens the photographer is using.

      The only way you could actually apply this in a “scientific” way is if you took photos using the same camera in the same lighting conditions, at the same distance, and using the same lens.

      I think a lot of today’s problems are due to how people were taught just enough about the scientific method to fuck it up completely and still be confident that they have done something that proves to themselves they have a point.

        It’s a cargo cult version of the scientific method where they think dressing up their nonsense in the aesthetics and jargon of scientific research gives it weight.
