The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"

I'm going to serious post this for a moment:
Pretty privilege is a thing. I think just as much as the racial (and other) biases this could complicate the pretty privilege problem. I'm a short, bald, older dude who is a 4 out of 10 physically on a good day. I know I've been turned down for promotions and shit simply because other people are way more attractive than me and frankly people just want to be around attractive people. I have always made less than my peers. It is what it is. My fear is that these stupid fucking metrics are going to go full fucking incel mode and start measuring negative canthal tilt and shit like that to really lock that in. This hearkens back to the argument on social media that there is a demand by wealthy couples for "ugly nannies" and my argument was for pretty people to sit the fuck out on this one. Let the ugly women have this one fucking thing. Anyways, that's my rant as an ugly dude I can literally only see this as another huge hit for my fellow uggos.
