I thought this was interesting. It hit me between the eyes when I saw it. This is a facial bifurcation of the road rage shooter who killed former NFL running back Joe McKnight in New Orleans:
His left side, according to the theory, should be less consciously masked than his right, just as most of us are less adept with our left hand than our right. Thus his left face should be more of his natural, innate personality, while his right is more the consciously created image he wishes to project to the outside world.
Clearly his left face (the rightmost image) is much more enraged that his right, which looks almost somewhat contrite. Look directly into the eyes. That left-face dude is about to kill you.
If he did explode and kill Joe McKnight in a moment of rage, it would fit with his facial characteristics, presuming he is right handed, and his facial expression is as well.
Reading faces on people you meet will be of paramount importance in a collapse scenario. If you can quickly figure out who they are, what they want you to think they are, and deduce what their plans for you may be based upon how their right face is trying to deceive you, you will be light years ahead of the people who just see a thin guy with his hair parted to the side.

Does the tilt of the head have significance?
I don’t know. Some say we try to subconsciously hide what we do not want seen, even to the point that when lying we keep our hands palm down and closed, while when telling the truth we hold out hands palm up and open, as if showing our hands. Tilting to or away from something might be significant in terms of defensiveness or hiding, or it might just be a muscular thing. I can’t tell in this instance.
Oh I don’t know. He doesn’t look straight into the camera so the left/right mirrorings don’t look the same. His face looks pretty symmetrical to me.
His right face almost looks shocked, like he’s thinking “oh this is how I’m supposed to act”, the left face looks angry that he’s being booked- as opposed to contrite or embarrassed- this guy has no respect for rules or authority. Of course if we wanted to gleam premonition on these people we would have to see them right before they commit their impulsive acts. I would bet that it would be the right face showing extreme anger (that’s his acting) and the left showing nothing or even giddiness (the expectation of a “kill”). Teeth would be barred, even possibly a huge smile. Take note the next time you risk being enriched, beware of the “vibrant” smiles. Gators grin right before they strike.
He seems to also have a bit of a smirk. I think he’s actually in a rather good mood.
If that left side face is a smirk, I am a fucking leprechaun. Regardless of the face in toto, I feel like that dude wants to kill somebody at that moment.
Commenting on the Brazil post, previous, cause there’s no option to do so there.
This will be exacerbated by the fact that in most, if not all, urban police departments the cops don’t live there. They’re commuters and so have no attachment to the community. They will abandon their posts at the drop of a hat when this goes down and pull back to their family and their real communities, where the local cops/deputies ARE part of their communities (largely).
I suspect I do this reading of faces unconsciously. I am able to read dangerous people almost instantaneously upon meeting.
By the way, somewhat unrelated, but it’s why I’m here for the amygdala hijack info…I started researching about a year ago, why some people have no ability to detect real danger in front of their faces, while at the same time, freak out about dangers that do not exist. I guess this ties in with the amygdala hijack, but I have begun to notice that people with no boundaries, are incapable of reading danger or reactions of people around them, almost like people with autism, except that these people aren’t what you would diagnose as autists, but they are always people who have experienced childhood trauma.
Interesting.
Pretty pooch in your avatar, BTW.
What do you make of this guy? Got that from the the following vid, and tried the facial bifurcation bit myself:

Interesting. His right side appears to show less positivity and less engagement. Usually I would ask if he was left handed, and thus he is presenting a brighter more engaged face on his left side than his innate right, but there is something about it which makes me think that may not relate to affect or emotion, but rather is just a structural difference.
Interesting case. I’ll check the video later.
What are your thoughts on reading the facial expression of the eight OPFORs in this story? Are we able to “read” expressions as confidently when the subject is of another race? A couple of these scholar-athletes have the “dead eyes” look down real well…Also, does a low IQ predispose one toward certain facial expressions that can be read/misread?

Making it more complicated there is the fact some there may be trying to look worse and more mean, whereas in normal rabbit society, the tendency seems to be to try and look more positive and harmless. Although dead eyes have always been a sign of evil.
Once you move out of peaceful society, where everyone is trying to achieve through diplomacy and at most covert aggression, and into an arena of open violence and intimidation, you can simply assume violence. In a collapse scenario, I would assume all different races, lower socioeconomic levels, and lower IQs were hostile.
I would also assume all defectives, whether IQ or physical, were hostile as well. Once being defective has real cost, those individuals will come to see the world as unfair, which is the first step to letting anything they do, to even the score, be fair. Killing you and your wife and children to take your stuff then becomes just a righting of a cosmic wrong.
That makes a lot of sense. Instead of over-analyzing in an Apocalyptic situation, just cut the Gordian knot.
Illuminating as always!

LOL! If he is right handed, he is naturally bad-ass, and wants to project even more bad-ass. God bless him.
This is bordering on the supernatural, and not in a good way…
What say you?
That is among the most disturbing things I have ever seen. Even if you set aside the fact she looks like she is about to jump up and begin spider-crawling along the ceiling, it still appears some serious fucking pathology is at play there.
Wow.
Anonymous Conservative I would really like your opinion on something. Psychopaths seem to be extremely able in fooling people into doing their bidding. I’m thinking that psychopaths by not having a conscience have facial and body micro-expressions that seem to us to be telling the truth. That they don’t have the tells that humans subconsciously use to tell if someone is lying or not. Also since they don’t have these tells, fairly blank emotionally, they can fake a slight expression of truth and our brain not seeing anything obviously bad, fills in that they are trustworthy.
Does that equate to a reasonable truth with your narcissist that you had experience with?
Narcissists are very different, I think. There is an angsty quality to them, often manifesting in their eyes. They are amped up, operating at the edge of their brain’s operational capacity, and slightly fearful they may be found out. When they lie, they will punctuate it almost by jutting their face at yours with a subtle nod-like aspect, if fearful, as if to emphasize they just said that and it is the truth. One I knew who was more toward angry would pull his eyebrows down and almost crinkle his nose, in an ultra-serious expression to sell it – or, I sometimes thought, challenging you to call him out on it and light his fuse.
I knew a kid way back who I now suspect was a psychopath, but his presentation was more deadened, kind of like he was a passive observer of his own life, with nothing invested in it. But you are right when I think back, that would have allowed him to lie about anything, and come off as totally unstressed and truthful.
Psychopaths are called “minus men” for a reason. I think you can only find them out by what they don’t show you.
Hey AnonCon- lol took me like fifteen minutes to figure out what the heck this was about but its really genius.
What app or program are you using to generate the images? I want to try it out.
-JL
I usually use paint. But if the head is tilted I will use either photoshop or open office draw to rotate it vertical.
Basically I highlight half of one side, copy, paste, flip, drag to an open area, then cut, paste, and drag the other side to meet.
