Imagine being so intellectually stunted that you're still a historical materialist even after a postgraduate education in philosophy.

>> No.15118981

What is a 'historical materialist'? Are you saying that you don't need materials to write history?

It means that I am an expert in the historical subject of materials science. And as we know from Hegel, the study of some topic and its history are one and the same.

honestly his grad school era stuff sucks hot cocks. his best was right before he entered his program. maybe he was studying up or something? he's already over-academicized into this pseudo-insightful chorus you get in the Ivory Tower, which is "wah wah let's look at this from another lens linstead of making hardball conclusons i.e. real thinking ets do some close reading oh no we're totally not missing the bigger picture and playing word games" type shit.

Historical materialism hasn't been disproven thus far so it seems like a rational stance to assume.

The importance of physiognomy to a lot of reactionaries isn't just edginess, their whole conception of racial superiority depends on it. How are you going to be racist if you forego facial features as an indication?

>> No.15121185

>>15121181
Those are two separate subjects. Different human populations have different average brain volume, a measure which correlates well with average IQ.

Physiognomy, in so far as it's not a meme, is stuff like the studies on the typical 'narcissist' or 'psychopath' features.

Because it serves as the basis for a lot of racist assertions, especially through analysis of the Nose.

Really? Pretty much everyone recognizes a hooked nose as being Jewish and flared nostrils as non-white ancestry.

>> No.15121310

>>15121288
What I meant to say was that the association of a nose shape with personality is almost certainly bullshit. Maybe Jews have on average a different skew of personality traits so seeing a Jewish nose could give you some tiny amount of information about the personality of the person, but this is so tangential as to be useless, not to mention that the Jewish nose is present in other populations.

I don't think it follows logically that you have to apply it within the races (especially if you believe in a strong separation). nor does it mean that you have to identify aesthetics with the genes for intelligence. there are many ways to be ugly.
