Every few years they "prove" the thing is, or
is not, what the faithful claim it is.
There are even modern reconstructions of the
'face' - a fairly handsome Hebrew man.
BUT ...
The Prophet Isaiah 53:2-5
"For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of
dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no
beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide
their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
In short, the Jesus guy was actually kinda UGLY. Any
"good looking" renditions would be FAKES.
Even if Isaiah had a 'mis-vision', why do you just ASSUME
the Jesus guy wasn't a rather ugly git ?
in those days, in that region, everyone was a strong shade of
brown, due to the toiling all day in the sun, which by default
led to greater melanin production.
What has that to do with ugliness, or the lack of it?
i dont know, just thought it was cultural appropriation perhaps.

The other day reading Drum magazine
I'll tell you some of the things I seen
The other day reading Drum magazine
I'll tell you some of the things I seen
Advertisements for special cream in every section
Give you a soft and pale complexion
Make your black skin lighter creamier and whiter
But when I look in the Star what do I find
But advertisements of a different kind
Because it seems that the white people have a notion
To make them selves black with the Sun Tan Lotion
Tell me, tell me, tell me why I want to know the fact
Why all the black people want to go
white and the white people want to go black.
In ten years they'll have mRNA pills at the
cosmetics counter in WalMart and you can be
any color you want :-)
"Zebra" and "leopard" ... might have to wait
a few more years.
not mRNA, but gRNA. i want someone who is proficient in genetics
to explain the nuances.
Biochemically, either might do the trick - preferably
short-term so people can keep up with the fashion trends.
gRNA can facilitate access to existing genes, but
mRNA can pretend to be from genes the host may not
even possess. If you want 'leopard' that'd likely
be important since our historic line only seems to
have been shades from solid black to white.
Editing methylation can surely also yield some very
interesting effects - hey, that's basically the diff
between a Great Dane and a Pomeranian.
Still have my textbooks from the biochem/genetics
classes ....
In any case, consider the amazingly lucrative
'cosmetics'/vanity industry. If easy, people
WOULD keep switching to the trendy colors and
hair types and such over and over - with the $$$,
big BIG $$$, rolling in for every little tweak.
What ya want are SHORT-term over-writable tweaks
and then you will be wealthy beyond all dreams
of avarice. :-)
hmm like a haircut. have you heard about the recent experiment
with dogs about lengthening their telomeres?
Extending old telomeres MAY extend life. May also
predispose to cancers. Use caution.
There are a few drugs and enzyme-suppressors that
may also extend 'youth' or even recapture some
of it. As a non-genetic fix, these approaches
MAY be safer.
For males, bigger (or seemingly bigger) dicks
and muscles are the market target. They've
already discovered "exercise in a bottle" -
muscles are biochem, they only "know" about
and respond to exercise via chemistry. Fake
the chemistry and you get the same results
as uncivilized sweating at a gym five days
a week.
"The Stars" have unlimited funds ... but the REAL
money is in the Jane Doe market ... middle and
lower-middle women esp = MASS sales.
I do like the skin/hair color micro-genetics idea.
As fashion trends change SO often you'll see the
same customers over and over and over.
Hmmm ... how about "Tiger" ? That'd look GREAT ! :-)
Topically-applied trophics might be used to guide
the deposition of new dermal pigments ... 'salon'
treatment, pick yer pattern :-)
Why was alt.atheism in the headers ??? Nothing very
theistic about any of this - just LUCRATIVE cosmetics.
New tech = new opportunities.
Body-bagged Moslem hareems may NOT yield as much
profit ...
A "corruption of science" ? Hey, science needs FUNDING,
lots of funding :-)
