People will come out in outcry against *young people* (late teens, 20s, and early 30s) having benevolent body modification procedures (aka plastic surgery in 2023) as if this is some kind of noble, champion of the youth thing.

But, this is actually evil.

It's damnation.

So much of human relationships and interaction comes down to the genetic outside (how you look) as an often (enough) faulty indicator of the genetic inside (how you are) that your quality of life and the achievability of your life goals depends - in very large part - on your appearance. People can't just override this stuff with "nice thoughts," "trainings," and "introspection." Often times its down to urges and just not liking or enjoying the presence of someone no matter what they do.

Moreover, the events and milestones that impact the trajectory of your life the absolute most (on both a mental and material level) happen when you are young. This means that plastic surgery has its greatest upside - its greatest ability to increase the quality of your lifetime - while you are young.

While you are looking for a spouse...

While you're starting up your career...

While you're establishing your social life...

While you are scouting for opportunity...

Yet, these worshippers of either mindless nature or incompetent demiurge are absolutely adamant that no one should have any kind of plastic surgery to improve nature's mistakes *at least* until it can have virtually no positive impact on your experience. (The knowing religionists actually hate human ability to manipulate nature for the benefit of Selves in any capacity.)

None of this is to say that plastic surgery is risk free - it isn't. But, a lot of suffering would be alleviated if we stopped lying about our reality and stopped gaslighting the people who try to change their lives for the better.
