You're still left with five out of six physical characteristics, hat that you judge people on, but you're taking one of them away. I don't like, does that make it more fair though, because people are still being favored for things that aren't in their control or dis favor. It's just now it's different people. Or, as before, the person with the really beautiful face is getting favored now theperson with the really hot body are the people thouar the person who's like a, you knowort.
We think racism is wrong but what about “lookism” – a bias that favors attractive people over unattractive ones? If it’s wrong to judge people by the color of their skin, what about judging people for something that is only skin deep? We talk about two pieces today, a forthcoming philosophy article by William D’Allesandro “Is it Bad to Prefer Attractive Partners” and the Ted Chiang story “Liking What You See: A Documentary.”
Plus we select the topic finalists for our beloved Patreon listener-selected episode. Interesting list this time around!
