Notes -
I find it strange, we live in a self centered era in which people care a lot about image and status. In a social media fueled age in which cosmetic surgery is doing better than ever I would have expected people to spend more effort than ever on looks.
People often talk about how we live in a politically polarised era, but politics is only one axis along which we're polarised. Instead of everyone dressing fairly presentably, a minority of people put a huge amount of effort into their appearance while the great unwashed wear grubby athleisure. Instead of most people having a normal BMI, there's a minority of slim people investing in cosmetic surgery, while the majority are overweight (if not obese). Instead of most people having a small but closely-knit social circle, there's a minority of social butterflies while the majority of people have no friends at all. Instead of most people being sexually active, there's a minority of highly sexually active people while the rest stay home gooning to their heart's content. This trend is most visible in Gen Z, but also in earlier generations.

The only thing that matters is your appearance on social media. Irl appearance no longer matters.
