the guy who proved your face is a snitch, no matter how hard you lie.
means paul ekman is the psychologist who mapped universal facial expressions and built a system for reading the micro-flashes of emotion people can't fully suppress.
from born 1934, ekman spent the 1960s photographing tribes in papua new guinea who'd never seen a film or foreigner, and found they read american facial expressions perfectly, killing the theory that emotion display is purely cultural.
