Default Re: The final word on Vig: the truth

[ QUOTE ]


The vast majority of BBV gave money blindly because of how his baby and girlfriend looked, and cancer was just a nice way to write themselves up as being charitable. If Vig's wife is ugly, she's probably lucky to see 10% of the money that was given. Nobody deserved to lose their money, but it's pretty laughable some of you in BBV are trying to take the moral high ground here.

I agree with your predictions but not your conclusions. Yes, people are more likely to get in touch with their good side for beautiful people. This is why evolution gave us babies with large eyes with respect to their face. Beauty gives our brains a dopamine rush which gives us the boost we need to act good.

You equate giving money to beautiful people to something bad. It's not. The proper response is to be aware of the biology within oneself, and hopefully in the future be able to somewhat overcome one's own biological biases.
