"Why do some societies not encourage casual smiling? I got my answer, or
at least part of one, when I stumbled across a new paper by Kuba Krys, a
psychologist at the Polish Academy of Sciences. In some countries,
smiling might not be a sign of warmth or even respect. It’s evidence
that you’re a fool—a tricky fool."
Fascinating! Via Jürgen Hubert.
