Had you ever notified that geniuses have a different look in their eyes? Facial expressions say everything about a person. Search for some portraits of famous musicians, writers and painters (Verdi, Botticelli, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Machado...) and you will see, they all have expressions far beyond common people's ones.

You can see intelligence in the eyes. Clearly some eyes are more alert than others. You can also see depth of feeling in the eyes. My guess is what you're looking at are eyes that express both intelligence and depth of feeling, but that's hardly confined to literary geniuses.

So yes, all geniuses have pretty eyes but not all pretty eyes people are geniuses

He was born to a good name, his family had many heroes of the American Revolution in its genealogy

His dad passed away when he was 13 and left his family in debt, Melville had to drop out of school and work, self-educating from that point forward

He studied to be a teacher, but then set sail as a healer in his late teens/early 20s

Apparently he was a wife beater

Libs try to say he was gay for Hawthorne, but he just admired the older talented literary titan of the northeast, and wished for his approval

In his old age he gave up writing novels because of the bad reaction to 3 successive novels, Moby Dick, Pierre, and the Confidence-Man, he started writing poetry instead and traveled to the holy land on a religious pilgrimage

Thank you for this. It still perplexes me to this day, that his novels, esp. Moby, did so poorly while he was alive. And the qife-beating is sad to hear.

Notice how all many of those geniuses were painted, or photographed with old grainy.

Now consider that even those whose picture were taken with clear, modern photography had to fucknig pose for the photograph, precisely because the whole point of the exercise is to capture the image of a guy famous for his intelligence and depth of feeling.

Net thing you have to ask is, in those conditions would a famous pseud look just as intelligent ? You'd have to find photograph of people who were revered in the time but exposed as pseuds (or overrated hacks) later. Not sure contemporary photographs would count, since in a lot of cases it's made by newspaper photographer whose main talent is making people look retarded.

Well, it could genuinely mean anything unless you get specific, reliable examples. Descriptions like this with historical people can be very, very broad.

Could range from
>wife went off one evening assaulting her husband several times until he struck her with an open palm, then she told all the women in her social circle that her husband is a monster
to
>the husband tied her to the bed when she was sleeping and proceeded to use her as a boxing bag, then bragged about it at church

Fear?
Anger?
Sadness?
Perhaps even a little bit of yourself? The same sort of bewilderment that occurs when one is both enamored by the mysteries life has to offer, but also jaded by the state of humanity and our lack of direction as a species.

actually, allowing redditfags to thrive on this board (there is a general for fantasy and scifi for fucks sakes) is why discourse is dead.

My mother had a stroke. She still has mobility and can sort of go through a normal day unassisted.

But her eyes. Blank. She looks at me and I just see my own reflection. There's no deeper comprehension beyond her just seeing.

When you look at something, you take it in. It enters your mind and you consider it. You assign it a meaning beyond its simple identifiers. You can see this in the eyes.

But when a person is mentally defective, whether from birth or through consequence, that's gone. Their eyes are shallow.

If you need more reference, look at your own eyes since you're such a facetious cock sucking mong

It's like you want to prove my point. Intelligence without humanity has no depth. Most Savants might as well be computers

And like it or not, the human mind is a whole lot of "feelies" most of our everyday decisions are made subconsciously without the use of pure intelligence and the ones we use intelligence for are always stilted by our emotions.

As far as what "it" is. You know what "it" is. And if you don't, you are retarded yourself, or a bot. OR you're being a contrarian pseud masturbating your ego by trying to show we can't answer the unanswerable.

If it's unanswerable that's because you cannot actually correlate what youre seeing in eyes with that person's mental reality. If you could, you would be able to describe how so.

I'm giving you the most verification possible. What was there is now gone. You just didn't like that the answer is one that can't be quantified or made to sound smart. My mother's eyes are fundamentally different now that she can no longer support higher thought. And almost everyone in this thread agrees that profound individuals have something in their eyes.

I'm providing as close to an experimental basis for this as possible. If you'd like, I'll put a gun to the top of your head and blow your rather useless cerebellum out. I hope we remember to take a before and after photo.

Then it also cant be objectively stated. And doing so requires you to deliberately overlook the glaringly obvious possibility that there is no general way to tell anything about people's inner world through their eyes, despite your anecdotal example.

>Everyone in this thread agrees
That's what you call selection bias. You don't go to Starbucks to take a survey proving everyone loves coffee.

>More insults in place of arguments
People here should be smart enough to be ashamed of that.

>Not hot to me.
Is the person in your example outright denying climate change? Or just waiting for actual evidence before accepting things as fact. Because the first one of those is exactly what you're doing. Disregarding evidence and thinking what you want. Whereas the second option is what I'm doing. Exercising adult level scepticism.
