hmm /why/ should this result in horror? aversion to making relative status explicit? compare eg public test score rankings? but beauty is even more verboten i bet existence of beauty contests suggests its about protecting low scorers rather than limiting power at tophttps://twitter.com/schmidtsam7/status/1110948962306084866 …

maybe something about dignity culture that chafes at this chivalric literature is full of knights murdering each other to defend the claim that this or that maiden is the most beautiful right? even gimli and legolas almost have it out over thishttps://twitter.com/RummaTumTums/status/1110958894577266688?s=19 …

Byakkotacotaco @RummaTumTumsReplying to @eigenrobotI agree with@peixianw and@pthagnar here, but for me, it's just about objectification, and that we shouldn't. I might actually be predisposed to liking someone who is pretty because biology is dumb, but that doesn't mean that they have more inherent value than someone else.4 replies 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -
