I wont have a bar of it.
I'm not sure if it's most people here who are in awe of *good looking* and/or high educated/successful members, but yeah, I believe that plenty are.
Since I consider myself a "hard" determinist....I would find such awe pretty illogical. The individual CERTAINLY has little or no control over their physical appearance aside from whatever they may do to MAINTAIN the appearance nature bestowed upon them. Still....wouldn't nature/nurture DETERMINE whether or not an individual does anything TO MAINTAIN their appearance??? The same goes for highly educated and "successful" people in my opinion. Humans simply are what they are via genetics, epigenetics, neurobiology and environment. Thus....whatever pride/shame an individual feels for themselves and/or others is just irrational and largely based on dubious notion of "free will".
