Show notes

Beauty is big business, and the rise of looksmaxxing and increasingly invasive treatments is raising the alarm on the ways that our looks matter in our personal and social lives.

Beauty is no longer taken as a sign of moral goodness, but itself has become a moral ideal. This applies worldwide.
