Other than the inestimable value of concealer and contouring, or course, or how to land without breaking your ulna.
Seriously, it's mind-boggling to me. Is it too naive of me to think that people should be curious about the world? The advent of the Net seems to have made people more self-centered, not less. SUCH a disappointing result and waste.

Humans aren't the most practical of animals. . .
Or as Forrest Gump said - "Stupid is as stupid does."
There are a lot of stupid people out there. . . (They were always out there, but they just weren't as noticeable.)
