Left What

100 men were asked….

Ha, you can tell how little I care about breasts as I looked at this image for like 30 seconds trying to figure out what the joke was. Or why the left position would cause someone to be prettier. Was it because she was framed better by the arches in the background? Slightly closer to the (non)camera? Better lighting? Less clutter in front of her? Better hairstyle (they are slightly different for the same “woman”)?

They both are AI-generated, though. Hard to find that appealing at all.

This is probably a made-up stat anyway, but in both images I find the Asian pseudo-woman prettier for what it’s worth.

Invariably, STEM types make the most mind-numbingly idiotic kindergarten-level philosophical and epistemological errors because “philosophy is useless” that then hamper their advancement and progress — and the progress of their fields — by decades.

Knowing what questions to ask, why you’re asking them, and what it means to ask and to answer them is extremely important. Without that, you have nothing. And that is what philosophy grants to you.
