      I feel like it's the only response when someone does a phrenology study.

        the only response is to assume the authors are jewish? i'm lost. either I am missing something or you're implying phrenology is a 'jewish science'

          Ah, definitely not assuming that. It's a tongue in cheek about someones physical attributes is correlatively to a behavior. In this case they assume that their name influences their behavior to look more name-like, and i said that their name makes them write this type of study. Same fallacy. There's definitely some politics in there but that was unknown to me when i wrote the comment.

          I really thought this was so obviously a phrenology study and it lacks any rigor that I didn't have to say that.

        How is it a phrenology study?

        The hypothesis would be that your name can affect your personality, which can then affect your habitual facial expressions, hair, and makeup.

          They really busted out the AI calipers on this one. It's literally looking at skull shapes. I only read the paper and didn't watch the video, but people get the same result when figuring out if face shape is associated with criminal behavior.

            my embarrassment grows lol

            only adults, not children, showed any face-name correlation, according to the authors. That would rule out skull shape—for whatever that's worth.

            I'm not trying to double down on this goofy study I saw on youtube. I'm just feeling embarrassed and defensive that everyone is shitting on my post. I'm subscribed to a guy named Anton Petrov who summarizes new papers, and I saw this video title and thought "Wait, what?" but when I watched it it seemed to have a plausible angle.
