Re: Was: privacy in the age of the internet NOW: people's desire to See someone

" This interest in knowing what someone looks like may be normal human curiosity

BUT could also lead to discrimination, example against a minority person. "

I think after we get to know someone for a while, we tend to build an image of

them in our minds. Then we want to see if our image matches the real

description.

It is indeed prejudice, because the only thing we know about people until we

meet them is what we read of them or learn about them by talking over the phone.

We have no idea what they think, what they do in their private lives, or what

have you.

While I am always curious to know what other people whom I have et online look

like, there is no driving need to find out what they look like either.

For me, I've always thought that a smile or a toothy grin is worthless, and

useless, and the more a person smiles, the more you should be suspicious of

them. This dovetails with what said about charisma.

I have found that more often than not, a smile is given most often by people who

do not care who you are and don't wish to know you even as they greet you. A

smile is most often given by people whose intent is to sell you something you do

not want. AS smile is most often given to cover up a lie even as it is being

spoken. A smile is given most often by people with predatory intentions.

I have of course known many people to give smiles when they are happy and

content, but these are usually of the closed lipped variety. I believe these

happen because people are not even aware that they are smiling. It just happens

naturally.
