Happeh Phrenology

Phrenology is a science that claims that the size and shape of the head influences or is linked to the personality and mentality of a human being. Phrenology was first developed in the 1800's.

Modern scientists claim that Phrenology is nonsense. These opinions appear to be based on historical reports and not actual scientific certainty. Phrenology was attacked and eventually discredited in the 1800's. Modern scientists seem to have accepted all of the historical reporting of the people of those times that Phrenology is nonsense, without ever actually doing any scientific research to verify those claims.

It seems natural and even imperative that scientific claims made 200 years ago should be examined again with the new knowledge and the new technology available in modern times. But for some reason complacent modern scientists feel it is not necessary to do modern research on the claims of Phrenology

That uncaring attitude on the part of modern scientists is hard to believe. Science is about curiosity and investigation. How could modern scientists not be curious as to whether or not the 200 year old claims of Phrenology are true?

The fact that modern scientists have dismissed Phrenology as nonsense, without doing any current research to verify those beliefs, is so unbelievable that the creator of this blog feels that scientists are knowingly and purposefully lying when they say Phrenology is nonsense. For whatever reason, modern scientists do not want modern people to know that the size and shape of the head is related to the personality and mentality of a human being.

There really is no need for scientific research to prove the basic claims of Phrenology because they are so obviously true. The common sense and life experience of any human being reading this blog proves that the basic claims of Phrenology are true.

Please examine the picture below.

The picture shows a large group of Indian women at a religious ceremony. Does the reader of this blog believe that all of the woman have the same personality or mentality? The answer to that question does not really matter. What matters is what the answer was based on.

The only part of the body visible of most of the women is their neck and head. Whatever impression the reader has of the mentality or personality of each woman, whether it be all the woman are the same or each one is different, that decision can only be based on the appearance of the necks and heads of the women.

What does anyone see when they look at the neck and head of each woman? They see the physical characteristics of the neck and head. They see the distance between the eyes, the size of the nose, the shape of the mouth, the length of the neck, etc.

That is all that the basic claims of the Science of Phrenology are saying. The physical characteristics of the head and face of a human being are an indicator of the personality and mentality of a human being.

Those characteristics can be discussed in large scale inaccurate terms such as "small", "large", "bumpy", "round", or "angular". Or they could be discussed in exact numerical terms of exactly measured distances and exactly measured angles.

If it is completely obvious to the reader of this blog that they personally use the size and shape of another human being's face and head to make judgements about the mentality and personality of other human beings, then how can it be that scientists, who are supposed to be smarter than regular people and who are trained to be smarter than regular people, emphatically state there is no connection between the size and shape of the head and face of a human being and the personality and mentality of that human being?

The scientists are either lying or they are stupid. What other reason could there be?

I guess the scientists could be trying to brainwash you to disbelieve your own life experience. I wonder if they really think you are so weak willed that they can do that?

Are you really going to let some stupid or lying scientists convince you that the method you use every day to reach initial conclusions about the personality and mentality of another human being, examination of the size and shape of their head and face, is nonsense?

Why would you do that? Do you think the scientists will pat you on the head and say "Good Boy!" or something?
