#53 Beauty's Biological Truth
About this Episode
Why does a beautiful woman in a jeans ad spark national outrage?
Why are babies better at recognizing beauty than most media outlets?
And why do we pretend everyone is equally beautiful… when we know it’s not true?
In this episode of Think First, we unravel the difference between biological reality and poetic truth — and why pretending beauty doesn’t exist might be the most dishonest thing we’ve done in the name of kindness.
Featuring research on symmetry, evolution, cultural gaslighting, and one suspiciously controversial American Eagle ad.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Why do all the beholders keep clicking on her?
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. #SpotTheGaslight
