An Aesthetic Meritocracy

I dislike the concept of superior physical appearance because it is almost entirely based on luck... of course you can dress nicely, style yourself... but I would prefer a world in which your external appearance was a manifestation of your personality and demeanor... the things that you can consciously morph into your ideal.

Unfortunately our biological responses dictate that it must be a major factor in aspects such as trust, lust, love.

Mdselctr: as you are motivated by the same needs and desires
Mdselctr: the ties which hold people together are means of social exclusion
