No, since your pic disproves the idea that physiognomy is important. Sartre is butt-ugly, Jünger is aristocratically handsome, yet both writers wrote absolute cringe.

Sartre is enjoyed by faggy artfags who cannot be assed to actually make the effort to read Heidegger, and Jünger is enjoyed by edgelords who wear combat boots in the summer and listen to Sabaton.

As a corollary to my evidence, look at this goofy-ass face in my pic. This faggot wrote some of the best fiction in the last 50 years.

No. Physiognomy has of grain of truth that people like to extrapolate into an entire wheat field which is why the subject is retarded, but it's especially useless for the merits of writers giving that writing requires a faglord phenotype in the first place. Attractiveness reinforces the veil of self love and therefore makes the truth more elusive, hot writers are handicapped by coomerism. Obviously they can overcome this handicap and become great though.

Further, this five foot goblin creature wrote the most important works of philosophy since Plato.

>>16061792
Pynchon is trash.

>>16061806
I don't care about your unqualified opinions.

>>16061804
OH NO NO NO NO

Yes but not based on how attractive they are. Generally, the bigger the forehead, the more smarter they are. I for instance have a fivehead and i am like, really smart

>>16061855
Or you just have a squishy face/recessive facial features.

Can we just stop and appreciate how attractive Aldous Huxley is? No homo

>>16061767

>>16061943
Like an ugly David Bowie.

>>16061767

If you'd read Junger you wouldn't have used him for this image.

>>16061804

what can you say about this man?

>>16061969
>slaps your girls ass when you're not looking and howls like a chimp

>>16062008
Not very confident and lacking in self-respect.

>>16062027
>Oy guvna!

>>16062037

>>16061991
Kant's ugliness has been greatly exaggerated. He wasn't tall, but in his time people in general were smaller.

>>16061991
Clearly based on the Jacobi portrait that is always mistaken for Kant.

>>16062083

>Do you judge the work of an author based on their physiognomy?
Generally yes, Grabbe is so far the only exception to the rule I've found.

Why do fascist look like faggots?
Hitler looks like he is a total hornbag for masculine bodies.

And why do left wingers never shave?
Karl Marx looks like a cozy grandpa who goes at the pub and has deep conversations.

These threads are the pseudest threads on /lit/

Young Gene Wolfe

>>16062122
What a fag you are.

>>16062122
you know you’ve hit a nerve when the guy with the hitler folder appears lol

>>16061767
What does his face tell you?

Death of the author and contextualizing author's work within the boundaries of his own life are two sides of the same coin.

>>16061792
Pynchon sucks cock, you fucking pseud-n*gger

>>16062160
>>16062209
I don't what it is, if feels similar to the faggots in modern family.

>>16062122
>Hitler looks like he is a total hornbag for masculine bodies.

Ok, you utter moron.

So you guys read Derrida and Foucault non-stop, or are they ugly and thus uninteresting?

>>16062257
Physiognomy is not just about ugly vs. beautiful.
Foucault looks like a typical neoliberal libertine pedo.
Derrida looks like a dishonest con-man.

>>16062257
Derrida had great hair for someone above middle age.

>>16061792

>Junger is cringe
>I know this because I've just invented smeone who reads him, and this fictional person does things I don't like

>>16061767
Attractive people get invited to too many parties and waste too much time on social trifles; they don't have the luxury of vast swathes of time alone in which to Get Good.

>>16062008
I'll bet he wrote edgy shit.

>>16062219
That he's based and redpilled.

>>16062272
My problem with it is that you already know that they are what you say they are, without looking at them. For instance, what can you tell me about pic related without looking up who he is (and hoping you do not know who he is). I'd understand if you are not as precise as "typical neolibaril libertine pedo" but please, be more specific than "he has kind eyes".

>>16062333
Looks Jewish

>The world is a kingdom of holes. The hole is bound up with refusal, with negation and with Nothingness. The hole is first and foremost what is not. This nihilating function of the hole is revealed by such vulgar expressions as 'arsehole with no buttocks' - which means 'naught' or 'nothingness'. To call an enemy an 'arsehole with no buttocks' is to annihilate him...

>>16061767
Yes.

How old is Junger there?

>>16062257
Foucault is interesting, Jews are not

>>16062350
Why though? And this man?

>>16062381
Seems like the sort of thought that tiny little forehead would produce.

>>16062381
>the world is a kingdom of women
this is very bad.

>>16062247
I don't care about your unqualified opinion.

>>16062276
The eternal cope of the Sabaton/Jünger cringelord.

>>16062381
Sartre is much ado about nothing.

>>16061767
A writer should at least get extra points for looking the part.

>>16062077

>>16062255
>avoided contact with women
Sounds totally gay. Yep, I think he was a closet fag

>>16062110
Damn be must have written some big brained books

>>16062801

It's true. Male models make the greatest philosophers, scientists, and literary artists.

>>16062076
Kek

>>16061767
This is disporven by great scientis 9/10 times they’re butt ugly, and maybe 1 is a regular joe like Feynman.

>>16062801
Grabbe is good, he is one of the most important German dramatists of his time. I have no idea if he is available in English though.

.. not exactly brought to a halt, now was it?

>>16061767
dosto and dick and common sense kinda disprove physiognomy, if anything is more determinant of one's appearance and overall opportunity to become a famous author it's wealth. But as always their a plenty of examples where that's not the case, generalizing like one does in physiognomy is a brainlet move.

>>16063660
>dosto and dickens are ugly

>>16062219
That he loves to larp

>>16062204
the descriptions of himself in fifth head of cerberus never gelled with me because i only had pictures of him taken at conventions for reference. i now see the planetary face and it is oddly sinister in a twilight zone kind of way.

>>16061991
damn that guy looks like, just 40 years older.
how do I cope?

>>16062255
>Kubitzek
That was before he met Ernst you mong.

>>16063920

>>16063660
They were both horrifically bad prose stylists, so that's something.

i dont judge authors by their faces, but I do judge posters by their tummies

>>16062219
That he's immune to Jewish tricks

>>16063920

By writing one of the most influential works of philosophy maybe

So kant was basically the male version of a cute anime girl?

>>16062082
At least from a masculine point of view there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him though.

>>16062082
>Ah yes, this crappy miniature painted when he was an old man is surely a good representation of his physical attractiveness!

Two of the greatest minds to ever live.
