1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4631: Matt Gaetz's gaze
#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert
2/ This image of Matt Gaetz shows him rotating both his head/neck as well as his eyes to his left. His torso is not oriented toward the the person at whom he's looking.
3/ Human beings don't look directly at people they don't like, don't respect, or don't believe.
4/ Looking at the rest of Gaetz's face, we can see that his eyebrows are directed downward, particularly medially (in the center portions, closer to his nose). This is somewhat less evident here, due to Gaetz's use of Botox.
5/ Gaetz's left (our right) segment of his 'mustache area' is also contracted and that portion of his face is slightly elevated. His left nostril is also dilated.
6/ Gaetz's eyelids (both upper and lower) are also partially closed. Moreover there is significant tension in both of his lower eyelids.
7/ Partial closer of the eyelids, while not required to express the emotions of anger, contempt, and disgust, serve to amplify these three emotions and their corresponding facial expressions.
8/ SUMMARY: In this moment Matt Gaetz is projecting significant

• Anger
and
• Contempt

at the individual to whom he's looking... continued...
9/ SUMMARY (continued): When this particular facial expression is displayed frequently, the individual making it has a high correlation with impulse control disorder and thus, also, a high predictive correlation with verbal anger degrading to physical violence.

If learning anything 'makes you feel uncomfortable' (gives you Cognitive-Emotional Dissonance) — it's absolutely a signal you NEED to learn more about it. Moreover & more specifically, you need to ask yourself, "Why does this 'make me feel uncomfortable'?"

#EmotionalIntelligence
Addendum A:

Truth: A person who never confronts their Cognitive-Emotional Dissonance, never grows.
Addendum B:

Religious leaders grow off-the-charts emotionally uncomfortable, when you raise questions that contradict accepted doctrines. In various ways, they tell you to, "Just accept it".

(And they label you as a trouble maker)

1/ THREAD/Proposal: NASA, the ESA, and the CSA should change name of the James Webb Space Telescope — and rename this incredible instrument of discovery after Henrietta Swan Leavitt.
2/ Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868 – 1921) was a brilliant, creative, prolific, and largely unacknowledged astronomer. She discovered the relationship between the periods of Cepheid variables and their Luminosity.
3/ Her discovery became the first "Standard Candle" enabling other astronomers to measure the distance to other galaxies and other objects. This astronomical relationship was thereafter known as "Leavitt's Law" and facilitated other major discoveries.

Hey @JeromeAdamsMD, tell us all about the permanent hole Donald Trump has in his hard palate. We both know it's caused by ischemic necrosis from decades of cocaine abuse. Tell us about the prosthetic device which occasionally loosens and gives rise to Trump's spontaneous lisp.
Addendum: And tell us more about Trump's ongoing severe drug abuse. Tell us about how Trump's snorted Adderall and Cocaine build up residue on the nasal side of the prosthesis, but occasionally leak around to the oral side — then shoot out his mouth in a projectile manner.
Addendum No. 2: Here's one example from 19 Oct. 2020 at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport showing at least 38 projectiles:

Hey, @tedcruz, serious question, did you get facial-hair approval from your wife before you grew a beard?

FACT: Men who grow facial hair without 1st getting approval from their partner, w/ extremely high probability, are either having an affair or trying to do so.
#BodyLanguage
Addendum: Also, if men grow facial hair just after a break-up/just after filing for divorce (or just after being served with divorce), then the same #BodyLanguage/Behavioral axiom applies — they were, with extremely high likelihood, being unfaithful.
Addendum No. 2: It's passed off as a response to teasing or a passive act (i.e., "The guys at the office are teasing me that I can't grow a beard", or "It's a vacation beard — I think I'll keep it."), but it not passive or lazy. It's quite deliberate.

1/  THREAD: This is Indiana State Senator Scott Baldwin — a Republican from Noblesville, Indiana. He's recently said that teachers, "need to be impartial" during lessons about Nazism and Fascism. #BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguage #ScottBaldwin #Nazism #Nazi #Fascism #Fascist Image
2/ Note Baldwin's facial expression. What do you see?

• He's 'Smiling' out of one side of the mouth
3/ This is NOT a Sincere Smile (not a Duchenne Smile).
How can we tell this his 'smile' is insincere smile? What characteristics are displayed and betrayed here?

1/ THREAD: Going along with the crowd does not take ANY courage. It may very well BE the ethical stance or it may NOT be the unethical stance — but no matter how loud you get shout and how dogmatic you get, this is NOT courage.
2/ Going along w/ the crowd will be an Adrenaline Rush — but it's often just weird sort of *Adrenaline Substitute* for courage because you get to shout, scream, flex your muscles, be part of a tribe, (& sometimes' you'll be manipulated toward violence) — but this is NOT courage.
3/ Going along with the crowd (often but not always) will satisfy a part of the human psyche — the part where we feel the strength of belonging to SOME group, SOME movement, SOME tribe. It's seductive. Don't be seduced.
