- Square forehead
- Square jaw
- Square face
Usually who the modern consumer is trained to see as a protagonistic, all-incompetent, visionary force thanks to Hollywood programming.
This is all by clever design, of course, because what we know as "fed face" is rather unmistakable to the trained eye, so assigning any sort of virtuous or positive connotation to these traits through hand-picked actors and actresses and impressing it upon the collective subconscious becomes a sort of a no-brainer for interested parties.
These are the folks you know to greet with "Oh, hello there officer!" when they approach you in civilian clothing, because it's not the clothing that makes the civilian, right?
The "fed face" and the "military look" (another distinct archetype that gets a big push - we'll talk about this one later) are two of the most common physiognomic archetypes you see represented in mainstream modern politics - especially in the western hemisphere, and especially in the form of streamers, influencers, so on and so forth.
In any non-official capacity, this archetype stands out as an obvious outlier - it makes no sense whatsoever for such a technical-minded and rigid character to be in the space of edgy, artsy, highly socially dynamic positions.
It just makes no sense. These are not your entertainers, these archetypes rarely even believe in entertainment. These are people who think in terms of function and, primarily, of benefit and result. So they're results-based operators - they care very little about the process and the emotional and philosophical depths that usually come with it.
And they are often propagandized as strong, with great discernment and an unshakeable moral codes - sometimes even by one another.
It's easier to do this instead, because that sort of physiognomy is a direct result of high-stakes training. You don't get this physiognomy by picking daisies and bathing in the sunlight all day (although I think this is what most people need more of nowadays), it's a sort of a strange inevitability of life.
You achieve it through rigorous exercise, emotional repression and systemic thinking, and a propensity to quickly jump into action without double-thinking about it.
But this same society, for whatever reason, seems to be gullibly surprised and upset when these same archetypal characters don't seem to play their Hollywood roles at all ("It's not like in the movies!!!") in real life.
It pays to know that people with these traits are guaranteed, in one way or another, to be:
- Loyal to the establishment (any establishment they fall under)
- Incredibly systemic in their thinking - they are bound to hierarchy and structure innately.
- More likely to dispense justice based not on morality and humanitarian values but on written law and regulation.
- Very hierarchical, these are not creative, out-of-the-box thinkers. They can only see the next few steps, and rarely the grander vision.
- Far less philosophical in a creative sense, and far more likely to identify with past or external ideologies and depend on them to steer their morality.
- Consider boundaries and limitations to have only beneficial qualities for society.
- Stern, inflexible and stubborn in their ways. Tend to have radical ideas and talking points due to lack of open-mindedness.
- Are highly unlikely to ever change their mind.
- Are highly unlikely to have had spiritual, religious, irrational experiences.
- Will gladly sacrifice an individual's needs for the good of the system they fall under.
- Will guarantee loyalty and strengthening of any structure they fall under, because being part of that structure allows them to practice influence and power. It's their natural comfort zone.
So when you're looking at brick-for-face over there, don't be surprised when their loyalties are to hierarchies and not to you, the individual.
Don't be surprised when they fall in line and begin to follow orders as it becomes painfully obvious even to the most oblivious observer - because the price they pay for being forceful and directly dominant is that they fall into a natural hierarchy of "who can hit harder".
And no one hits harder than the system itself.
These are highly capable men and women, but if you're looking for a true ideological visionary - look for circular, spherical, oval shapes - gentleness, a subtle strength and charisma, cadence, and empathy.
"All-incompetent" isn't a mistype by the way, more of a little dig at how these characters always come out really imperfect but are somehow delivered from their massive shortcomings by their visionary ability to discern the best course of action at all times when it matters.
These archetypes rarely ever have this skill.
