Whats your stance on Phrenology, /sci/? This is a field that

Yeah. Projetion-ology is good if you have big forhead insecurities, or other really fucked deformities
so there is a use to it, at least.

It's an extremely thin veil for various forms of racism.

also good to note that its not the features which cause the effects, but the hereditary characteristics which are shared by those who also genetically achieve those proportions

Phrenology is the term used for various elaborate schemes of the human brain and its relationship to the skull, which is today outdated. Physiognomy is what you're talking about. One of the main propaganda tools of blank slatists and liberals is to conflate physiognomy with phrenology, because the first is a fact and the second outdated at best, a psuedoscience at worst.

But everybody with a brain realizes that ugly/weird looking people tend to be ugly and weird.

it'll never be genuinely accurate
(speculative:) and in one generation its likely that most the phrenology research will become irrelevant. as genetic traits and character traits mix relatively randomly with no relative bias from the sperm or ovary information the connection between physical and mental characteristics will dissolve

so where becomes the purpose?

>it'll never be genuinely accurate
it was already in its time more accurate than whatever psychology as a field can speculate right now, after 100 years of """research""" that has given us NOTHING of value.

I love the phrenological cutaway diagrams of the brain, showing well defined centres for all sorts of 19th century personality elements, like "peevishness" and "penmanship" and "cravenness". And they're always roughly rectangular.
