"人々は魅力的な人に対して自然に表面的になります。印象に関しては、有能さと外見の間にはトレードオフがあります。私たちは即断を避けられないので、美しい人々は有能と見なされるのが難しいかもしれません。"
— Paul Graham
Simplified Meaning:
When we see someone who looks very attractive, we often focus on their looks and make quick opinions about them. This can mean that, even though they might be really good at their job or very smart, we might not notice that as much. Imagine a job interview where there are two candidates - one very good-looking but not as experienced, and another who may not be as attractive but has lots of experience and skills. Some people might think the good-looking person is not as capable just because of how they're used to quickly judging based on appearance. This unfair snap judgment can make it harder for attractive people to prove they are skilled. To make better choices, it’s important to look beyond just appearances and pay attention to a person’s abilities and actions. This helps avoid missing out on recognizing someone’s true competence.
