From Black Mirror to Elon Musk’s Face Reading

Every week I will be reading the face and analyzing the statement of different personalities. Send me your politician/business/idol name to susan@humanbehaviorlab.com

Did you ever watch a movie/ series and think, “Oh no, this is impossible! It’s never, ever going to happen”? Well, a few months ago, I was watching one of the most addictive shows I had encountered called Black Mirror; this show scares the soul out of me, but I can’t stop.

The episode was S04 E06 · Black Museum, which aired on December 29, 2017. Please go to Netflix and watch! This is the scenario: a company developed a neurotransmitter that basically allows a person’s mind to be transferred to a hologram, and/or to another person to feel what others feel, through an implant to the brain. Impossible, no? Well, they are working on it! I will not give you any more details on the episode, as I want you to be just as wowed as I was.

A week or two ago, browsing the 100 email subscriptions I get every day, I found this article, and I felt ice running through my spine.

In the online magazine [1] The Startup, I found this article that basically said that S04 E06 · Black Museum is happening. This is too neuro-advanced for me, so I will transcribe the first two paragraphs and give you all the links to read and research deeply into these few companies and ideas.

In a study [2] published on May 14 in the journal eNeuro, researchers at UCLA described how they removed memories from one sea snail and injected them into another sea snail in the form of RNA. Nectome[3], a Silicon Valley startup, believes that one day they will develop the technology necessary to completely copy the physical structure of a human brain and be able to recreate it, along with the consciousness of the person it belonged to.

And then there is Neuralink[4], one of Elon Musk’s ventures. Neuralink doesn’t have an ultimate goal of “copying” or “reproducing” a human mind.

They want to focus on the logical next steps: true interfaces between the biological human brain and the machines which will enhance and improve us.

Well, who else than mister genius Elon Musk would be involved? (And I say “genius” from a place of deep envy and admiration.) This man has gone where others are even afraid to put their noses.

Now, why would a physiognomy specialist, behavioral hacker, and researcher be writing about this, besides to try to shake the ice off my spine? Musk has features that made him who he is. Did you ever admire someone and a friend or colleague said, “You look like X or Y, and now your ego is huge”?

Well, what if I tell you what makes Elon Musk tick and what features made him “Mr. Innovation”? Maybe you are the next Elon. So grab a mirror and get ready.

Here we go.

A brief history, as Mr. Musk is well known.

Elon Reeve Musk was born in South Africa on June 28, 1971, a Leo. Being only 47 years old, he is one of the most influential businessmen and entrepreneurs in the world.

“Elon Reeve Musk FRS is a business magnate, investor, and engineer. He is the founder, CEO, and lead designer of SpaceX; co-founder, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; and co-founder and CEO of Neuralink. Previously, Elon co-founded and sold PayPal, the world’s leading Internet payment system, and Zip2, one of the first internet maps and directions services, which helped bring major publishers like the New York Times and Hearst online.” [5]

FACE READING FOR ELON MUSK.

Elon’s ears are large in size. This reveals that he is a really good listener and is always ready to hear more. He takes things in methodically and logically and also prefers wisdom over speed. Because of this tendency, it’s most important to communicate with him thoughtfully and slowly, and not bombard him with hurried explanations.

His ears also have a pronounced inner ear ridge, which indicates that he doesn’t take things literally—instead, he captures the tone and context of a situation. He even relies on his gut when making decisions.

The most important feature related to Elon’s ears, however, are the small vertical lines that lie in front of them. These lines actually called “lie detector lines” in Chinese face reading, reveal his ability to spot a lie or inauthenticity from a mile away. It is of utmost importance when communicating with him that you are honest at all times.

His eyes actually reveal how he is likely to respond. He has very pronounced eye puffs over his upper eyelids. These signify that he is so focused on externals that he has let his own needs fall by the wayside.

In other words, his life is so focused on achieving goals and working hard that he doesn’t take good care of himself or let himself have any downtime. Because of this, he can be impatient or overly critical with people.

It’s not uncommon for CEOs to have this feature and to, in turn, be quite bristly. Interestingly, however, Elon also has thin eyelashes, which reveal that he, himself, is overly sensitive and may get his feelings hurt easily. In other words, he can dish it out, but he can’t take it. Further amplifying this, Elon also has small irises, which signify that he is indeed very sensitive. In fact, he can’t stand it when people shout or when his environment is intense. He is so sensitive that he almost doesn’t want to feel things because it’s so overwhelming for him.

Another interesting feature to Elon’s eyes are the hooked inner canthuses (the inner corners of the eyes), which signify that he uses precision when communicating with words, and when angered can actually use words as weapons. Lastly, Elon has small reflective points at the inner corners of his eyes, which are called prescient points and which mean that he is gifted with intuitiveness. He knows things that others don’t, and he doesn’t know how he knows them.

Elon’s eyebrows reveal just as much information about him. Firstly, his eyebrows are highly placed above his eyes. This signifies that he is selective and discerning by nature and also likes to take his time when making decisions.

He wants to make sure that something feels right before moving ahead with it, and feelings can’t be rushed. Therefore, he also dislikes being rushed in his decision-making. His eyebrows are straight in shape, indicating that he values a direct and factual manner in communications and processes things analytically. He also respects proven leaders in a field and feels that given a manual, he could solve any problem.

Elon’s eyebrows are tangled—in other words, the hairs grow tangled together, which signifies that he likes to play devil’s advocate and has a tendency to challenge other people’s opinions.

Be certain that you know the topic that you are presenting to him inside and out because he will ask that you defend your position. Lastly, the space between Elon’s eyebrows is very wide, which signifies that he has incredible innate self-will. If he’s going after something, he is going to get it.

THIS REPORT WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO ARTICLES. NEXT WEEK THE FINAL PART.
