EXTREMELY HIGH IQ POST
A few months ago, I had a transformative experience with DMT that completely shifted how I think about evolution, human behavior, and the way our skulls and faces have changed over time. It was like I could see the entire arc of human development laid out in front of me, and I started to connect the dots between how we’ve evolved and the forces that have shaped us especially the physical ones. I realized that the way we look today isn’t just about genetics; it’s a direct result of how we use, or don’t use, our bodies. That’s when it hit me: the pulling forces that were once a natural part of life played a huge role in shaping the strong, angular skulls of our ancestors, and the lack of those forces in modern life is why so many people today have softer, less defined features.
I used chatgpt to correct my text but my ideas are still mine.
For most of human history, the forces we exerted with our teeth—especially pulling—shaped our skulls as much as genetics did. Imagine a child’s skull as soft and moldable as playdoh during their early years, constantly adapting to the stresses placed on it. When kids pull with their teeth—whether it’s tearing tough meat, carrying objects, or gripping something hard—they apply immense forces to their jaws, cheekbones, and midface. Over time, this pressure literally sculpts the face, creating strong jawlines, forward-projecting cheekbones, and wide, symmetrical dental arches. These are the same striking features we associate with models and “naturally” attractive people.
The truth is, nothing about how people look is purely luck. Those who have angular, sharp facial features didn’t win a genetic lottery—they unconsciously shaped their faces during childhood. A kid who spends their formative years eating tough foods, chewing vigorously, and pulling on things with their teeth is unknowingly creating the kind of forces that remodel their skull into a well-defined, balanced structure. On the other hand, a child who grows up eating soft foods and using their mouth minimally misses out on those critical forces. Without that stress, their skull remains underdeveloped—leading to a narrower face, weaker jawline, and features that don’t stand out.
Pulling is the key factor here. Unlike chewing, which distributes force more evenly, pulling creates targeted, intense strain on specific areas of the skull, especially the upper jaw (maxilla) and cheekbones. Over time, this pressure causes bones to grow thicker, stronger, and more pronounced. It’s why our ancestors, who pulled meat off bones with their teeth or used their mouths as tools, had such robust, angular faces. Their skulls adapted to those forces as they grew, molding themselves into what we now see as attractive or "ideal" features.
Modern life has taken those forces away. Kids today grow up eating soft, processed foods that barely require chewing, let alone pulling. They don’t need to use their teeth for anything beyond eating, and even then, the effort is minimal. As a result, their skulls develop without the mechanical stress that would create those striking features. This lack of pulling is why strong, angular faces are becoming rarer, replaced by narrower, less defined structures.
And this is why ideas like mewing are such a cope. The gentle pressure of tongue posture doesn’t come close to the kind of forces that pulling or heavy chewing apply during growth. The faces we admire—whether on models, actors, or athletes—weren’t shaped by luck or passive techniques. They were shaped by unconscious habits during childhood that placed constant, heavy strain on their skulls. These people didn’t set out to develop these features—they just happened to use their faces more while growing up, and their skulls responded accordingly.
If you want to understand why modern faces have lost their striking features, look no further than the disappearance of pulling forces. Without them, the skull doesn’t remodel itself to its full potential. It’s not genetics, and it’s not luck. It’s simply a matter of how much your face was used while you were growing up.
For the past year, I’ve been incorporating facepulling into my daily routine, and I’m already starting to see results. Every day, I focus on creating the kind of pulling forces that our ancestors experienced naturally, forces that shaped their strong, angular facial structures. I do this by biting onto the end of a pair of pants attached to weights and pulling upward at a strong angle, using my canine teeth—because that’s exactly what they were designed for. These teeth are evolutionary tools for gripping, tearing, and pulling, and they direct immense force into the maxilla and cheekbones, stimulating growth and remodeling.
Each pull lasts about 5 seconds, but I go as hard as I physically can, focusing on creating maximum tension in my jaw and midface. It’s not just about clenching or holding; it’s about actively pulling with enough force to engage the entire structure of the face. This daily practice mimics the intense forces that our ancestors used for survival, and the results so far have been undeniable. My midface is starting to feel more forward-projected, my cheekbones more pronounced, and even my jawline is becoming sharper and stronger. It’s like my skull is finally responding to the kind of mechanical stress it was always meant to experience.
