We need a science of first impressions, if they are culturally shaped. It also makes me think about the fact that we are always not only taking, but making first impressions and probably don't even know it. You might have correlations from culture, from advertisements, from movies, from what you see on the news between what somebody looks like, and then what you're told is their character. Their idea is that these cultural messages seep in, they become our associations.
How much can you tell about someone from the first few seconds of a Zoom call? What did Stephen think of Angie when he first met her? And: a special message to babies from the future.
