plasteroids

Julian Savulescu: philosopher of obligatory body beautification.

The color problem raises serious metaphysical issues. David Hume, the most reliable source of these issues, wrote that “Sounds, colors, heat and cold, are not qualities in objects, but perceptions in the mind.” Physicists who have subscribed to this doctrine include the luminaries: Galileo, Boyle, Descartes, Newton, Young, Maxwell, Helmholtz and God himself. Are white teeth a sign of racism or implicit bias? Not when you close your mouth: they are now politically obscured.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on December 11, 2013 at 3:12am: plasteroids: the cast, the plaster, the stuff we make artificial teeth out of.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on December 11, 2013 at 3:11am: Really? What about the other dinosaurs? They would have been at the same height. I read that peahens don't really watch the big peacock tail. Well, maybe 10% of the time. They watch the feet, the bobbing head of the male, HIS BEAK. So there's a survival from the days of dinosaur teeth. Cosmetic dentistry. I'm....very possibly convinced that this is something that would have been relevant.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on December 11, 2013 at 2:44am: That's okay. Mice can want to have a nice smile too. I've often wondered if the flashy teeth of dinosaurs were also a sexy symbol. That would be cosmetic evolution.
