Schopenhauer: Physiognomy and the Soyjack
Arthur Schopenhauer, Physiognomy, Character, Intellect, Morality, Dysgenics, and the Cult of the Nu-male.
Schopenhauer and the Utility of Physiognomy
Arthur Schopenhauer in Physiognomy wrote:
There are individuals whose faces are stamped with such naïve vulgarity and lowness of character, such an animal limitation of intelligence, that one wonders how they are to go out with such a face and do not prefer to wear a mask.
For thousands of years, it was accepted that the outward appearance of a man informed much of his character, the face being a window to the mind. Physiognomy derives from the Greek words “physis” meaning nature and “gnomon” meaning judge, to determine the character of a man through the terrain of the face—expanded more broadly to the nature of a person’s outward design. Frequently castigated as a pseudoscience, physiognomy has fallen from favor or usage, especially in any kind of systematic study, but inherent in every being—especially children—physiognomy persists as a conscious and unconscious predictor of human beings.
Schopenhauer believed that the principal higher order of Nature was to produce beauty; those things produced from nature that can be characterized as beautiful are the exemplar of the whole species—this explains our captivation in its presence. The most beautiful representations of the race are found in the images of figures like Hercules, imbibing a character of strength, honor, and heroic will—often in the face of an evil dysgenic serpent. The beautiful Athena of old, her soft symmetrical face, large sparkling eyes, strength, and dignity; an appearance that inspires sculptures, poems, and all manner of art for more than a millennium—all in praise of the physical form. This physical form is an expression of the inner character and intellectual prowess, only found in those of good stock—an ideal of man—a human of rare worth; thus they are canonized and worshiped. It is the inner qualities of man being reflected through physical form and deed.
It is wise to consider, as Schopenhauer asserts, that the moral character is difficult to identify through physiognomy—even amongst the most divine physical specimens—future evil action cannot be expressly ruled out, as morality is most deeply ingrained in the human soul; beyond the inquisitive gaze. It is a valuable tool when used properly and with the haste of observation, but it can also be fallible. Despite this fact, the likelihood that someone of sound physiognomy is also of poor character, intellect, and morality is far less likely than those of dysgenic physiognomy.
Those of evil or ill-repute are most often depicted with dysgenic physiognomy in historical images of hell, featuring large protruding noses, sullen eyes, heavy foreheads, scars, and warts—those of evil character and sub-standard spirit always reflect such states in their physical form. The association of dysgenic physical form to poor breeding stock, intellect, and character is built into the foundations of western civilization—an ouroboros of subpar physiognomy produced by the lowness of inner character, and in turn, a poor physical state that then twists the innermost character.
All serious breeders of animals have health and structure as the two key factors in sound breeding, both of which drastically affect temperament. If a purebred dog has a kinked or disfigured tail, this is a promising indicator of a potential spinal issue, which means that any future in sports or as a working dog is unlikely. These subtle physical abnormalities can also be genetically heritable; therefore resulting in future descendants carrying such malformations if bred. This is why careful and considered observation, not for arbitrary physical conditions such as coat color, but fundamental traits of well-bred physicality are key. The straightness of the back, the squareness of the front, the length of the muzzle, and even the alignment of teeth are all subtle, but major factors in producing a sound functional physiognomy. A worthy specimen for human companionship, workability, and training. The breeder cannot talk to these animals like a human to discern their character, intellect, or even morality—instead, they must observe their behavior and physical form to identify health, function, ability, and temperament.
Schopenhauer suggests that the immediate physical impression of a person is, and must, be decided in the initial moments of meeting to avoid the lying tongue. It is this subconscious and conscious mechanism of human nature that also informs how people will be treated, which can further their ill-tempered character. It is well-known that those who are beautiful, tall, or well-built will be treated and promoted more frequently and have increased pay over their lesser counterparts. This is a fact of life, those of beauty and soundness of physiognomy will be treated better and are more successful both because of outward impression and also through internal ability—as proven by their physiognomy. To usher in egalitarian policies and diversity quotas—in hopes of manufacturing fairness—will only serve to reduce the overall competency of the institution. Promoting those of dysgenic appearance will not result in improved functionality or ability, only the instantiation of foul mutants of vengeful characters who seek to dismantle all hierarchy and beauty.
The dating market is of the harshest selector, those of tremendous beauty will be selected first and above all else, these individuals are of greater average character, status, and ability. As a result, those of poor physiognomy cope by frequently proclaiming to have superior morality and ability—on the inside—but lack the appearance of beauty, resulting in them being unfairly maligned, furthering their rotten character as a result of “injustice”. In their proclamation of superior inner ability or character despite outward dysgenics, they merely prove that the greater physical specimen also holds superior character—the whining INCEL proves as much.
The conventional wisdom of modern society will have you accept slogans like “don’t judge a book by its cover” or “it’s about what’s on the inside that counts”. Everyone can rattle off a number of these throwaway lines that try to rid any sense of functional prejudice from your character—an unlearning of instinct. It is not only identifying specific traits in another’s appearance as a means to inform you of their general character—but keeping yourself safe. If a ghetto-looking gangbanger walks up to your car at night, is it right to prejudge his appearance and lock the door quickly, or roll the dice on the assumption that he’s an upstanding citizen and it might be racist to think otherwise? It is a real phenomenon of instinct and experience that is deeply ingrained into the human genome, it is not a bug but a feature, to deny it is to further domesticate oneself as a sow.
Physiognomy is not merely the length of the nose or spread of eyes, but all the confounding variables to piece together a profile of a person’s character and intelligence that has profound practical utility. Schopenhauer even identifies a certain style of movement or manner of walking in those of low IQ, as they tend to lack general dexterity and fine motor skills—reminiscent of a chimp, rather than a human.
Physiognomy of the Soyjack Clone
The Soyjack or Nu-male is a modern embodiment of an “I, Robot” clone, the Redditor, Marvel fanboy, Soylent drinking, Funko Pop collecting cuckold. It is the chief marker of a sufficiently domesticated and low testosterone male, which is immediately recognizable upon first glance and once identified can be used to inform everything about their character, intellect, and ideology.
The Soyjack is characterized by: trendy glasses that signal poor eyesight; nerdy supremacy, a wide gaping mouth, and showing of teeth reminiscent of a chimp in submission; the pale translucent skin, and thin soft hands suggest a sedentary life indoors—like a zoo animal. Oneness in the physical form akin to a grazing herd animal of subpar birth; a man of inaction, tolerance to all manner of transgression, and pronounced by a hunched curved spine from hours of desk work. The dedication to “nerd hobbies” and consumerist brands, acts as a fill-in for any substantive existence or authentic experience. The ease with which they can be manipulated, abused, cajoled, and dominated by women and men legitimizes them as cuckolds and invalids. It is physiognomy expressed at a tribal level, and this is the cuck-tribe, they breed through the corruption of character and intellect, seeded in their poor birth—a clone of Nu-men, an Agent Smith.
Schopenhauer rightly points out that if you accept that the soul and body are intrinsically linked, then the body would represent the coat to the man himself. A face is a hieroglyph that informs on the intelligence and character of an individual through their features, whereas the tongue may mislead through speech—the physical form can only instantiate the inner state. Nu-males are not merely represented by transferable forms of dress, belief, or hobby, but a standardized inner state of parody that manifests itself in this highly stereotypical way. The Soyjack tribe is defined by its poor character and intellect, not despite it.
A regular critique of the Soyjack or Nu-male phenomenon suggests that it is a homogeneity of culture, belief, and fashion that establishes widely accepted norms and means by which to express oneself—merely an emergent phenomenon. Schopenhauer likens this phenomenon to that of wine tasting in which the first glass of wine has a distinct smell and taste with readily identifiable flavors. It is only upon drinking large amounts of wine or mixing in other varieties that these distinctions disintegrate into a single mass. It is not easy to observe a phenomenon if everyone around you has transformed into the same figure, therefore the mass of sameness blinds you to their distinctly low character and intellect. It is not merely cultural or social pressures that standardized the physiognomy of the Nu-male, but a similarity in character and intellect that manifest itself in their gaping mouth, close-set bulging eyes, pho-masculine trimmed beard, and the pushed forward smarmy jaw. It is the rotten inner being that informs the physical look and the reverse, not mere inculturation.
These Nu-males are so deeply formulaic in their outward “self-expression” of the inner-self, that the individualistic physiognomy—which can provide vital intel—becomes a sea of sameness. They all look the same, think the same, have the same pathologies, and distasteful characters of middling intelligence. The cyborg collective can be identified and thrown into the defective pile, the whole lot of them—no individual analysis required. Schopenhauer describes a “painful sensation of seeing new faces”, to me this perfectly describes the feeling of absolute disgust and disdain for these pathetic individuals. It is like a pack of dogs trying to entice a wolf into joining their merry little band, only at the cost of everything it is to be a wolf—to become a slavish beggar of domesticated life. The Nu-male’s mass adoption and symmetrical design of Semitic character may cloak their dysgenic natures, affording to them a level of acceptability and tolerance, but once identified—as instinct would dictate—the whole lot of them can be written off. All manner of mosquitoes are an annoyance; sheathed by demonstrable ugliness, no individual analysis is required.
Arthur Schopenhauer in Physiognomy wrote:
If anyone, on the other hand, will be content with a psychological explanation, let him ask himself what kind of physiognomy can be expected in those whose minds, their whole life long, have scarcely ever entertained anything but petty, mean, and miserable thoughts, and vulgar, selfish, jealous, wicked, and spiteful desires.
It is in the very thought, character, and action that makes its mark on the body, whether that be in blemishes, rotten moles, dyed hair, enlarged cranium, or fat hairy man tits. It is all a reflection of the inner self in physical form. Those of a disturbed character can scarcely conceal this in their physical form, it is not usually the most beautiful who is of a twisted mind—as many would have you believe—but those hideous witches. The harm that those of ill physiognomy do to themselves and others is painted all over their faces—as a warning for all to see and to those who will observe.
The Nu-male is a product of our time, a supreme lack of selective pressures and flourishing dysgenics proudly displayed on the faces of the most dedicated Antifa counter-revolutionaries, homeless, transgenders, rapists, psychos, and drug addicts. An ill mind transposed in physical form, as a warning, as a silent reminder of low intellect and disreputable character. Take heed of these signs, as the dysgenic cult can consume your mind, twist your character, limit your intellect, and make you into their clone—nature notwithstanding.
