Super interesting article, Giacomo. Marketers intentionally create these associations and know that initial impressions shape brand perception. This is a great reminder that being thoughtful about our initial judgments is essential.

Thank you Alexandra!

Thinking carefully about our first impressions/judgements is key to try live a life without too many biases.

The pretty privilege is real, especially the association of beauty with intelligence and charisma. Unless you're a beautiful successful woman in politics in Italy: in that case the immediate mental association is that you didn't deserve to be there, you must have slept with someone. I wonder how the halo effect copes with the cultural biases.
